As he walked to the rescue center, Fang Ye said: "Spring and summer are the seasons for bird breeding. Many young birds come out of their nests and fly out at this time, either because they are curious about the outside world and accidentally fall out of their nests, or because Due to the weather, a gust of wind blows down, and it falls out of the nest for various reasons and falls to the ground.
After being seen by kind citizens, call our rescue center.
Not all nestling chicks need to be brought back for help!
Some are already full of wings. They are just getting familiar with their own wings and practicing flying skills. In fact, the parents stay with them all the time. Just leave them alone.
Some fall out of the nest, and if we can find their nest, we will send them back to the chicks.
We will only accept injured chicks, or if the rescuer can't see the nests nearby. "
Came to an outdoor cage with perches and ropes arranged inside.
A fluffy little owl rests on the perch or rope!
At a glance, there are more than a dozen of them.
Seeing someone coming, he stared at them with round eyes.
The fluffy feathers look like little kiwis, very cute.
"so cute!"
"Wow, the principal, you have rescued so many owls!"
"The babies are so cute standing in a row on the rope!"
Fang Ye said: "It was okay some time ago. Recently, it has been very busy. Little owls have been sent over every day. On average, they will receive two or three per day. Now there are more than 40!
The young owls sent here are mainly collared owls and owls.
All owl chicks received will undergo a physical examination and quarantine observation by a veterinarian.
We keep small owl cubs in the nursery and create nests similar to tree holes for them, which is equivalent to an owl kindergarten.
These feathers are already relatively plump. When the young birds are at the age of learning to fly, they are gathered together and placed in this relatively open cage, which is equivalent to an owl elementary school.
In the Owl Primary School, these little owls get along with their kind, communicate and learn from each other, can adapt to their own owl identity, and show the behavior that owls should have.
How to be an owl, this is something we cannot teach! They can only learn from each other by themselves.
Otherwise, if you raise them alone and keep in contact with our staff, you may gradually think that humans are your own companions, form dependence, and even treat humans as courtship objects when they grow up. Then there will be a problem and it will be impossible to release them into the wild. "
Small owls such as collared owls and owls are still abundant in seaside areas, and they can survive in cities.
They live on big trees in the dark, and do not interfere with humans.
The owls kept in this cage are all collared owls.
Fang Ye introduced the environment of the cage: "In our cage, in addition to the wooden perch, there is also this kind of rope perch. The swaying ropes are very similar to the swaying branches. When taking off and landing, you can Exercise the little owl's leg strength and balance ability well.
And not only does it exercise by itself, a little owl moves, and the companion on the whole hemp rope can get exercise.
There are also bamboo leaves leftover by the pandas, which are not wasted. They are inserted into perches or cage nets, so that they need more turns during the flight, and the exercise effect is better. "
Netizens admired: "66666!"
"The director of your zoo is really outstanding!"
Go to a perch!
There are three little-collared owl chicks here.
Seeing Fang Ye approaching, his eyes suddenly became alert.
One of the oldest and the largest in size, stood in front of him without hesitation.
Bend down and assumed a demonstrative posture, his body gradually swelled.
From a ball of steel wire to a little brown feather duster!
Big black round eyes stared at him, blinking constantly.
The two little-collared owls in the back hide behind their brothers.
One body is standing upright, the other body is leaning, like a stretched branch, motionless, looking cute.
Netizens are amused by their funny looks!
"Hahahaha, look dumbfounded!"
"What an innocent look!"
"This boss is very good, guarding the second and third child!"
"Blink, this is the owl cursing!"
The boss in front, seeing that Fang Ye still didn't leave, he turned his head to look at him, then stretched his neck forward, tapping his beak "tata".
Fang Ye smiled and said: "This state is good, which shows that they have due vigilance towards humans."
"Looking at the owl cursing, I can't help but think of chocolate!"
"I remember that the chocolate was released once and it was not successful, so I stayed at your zoo and kept eating and drinking!"
"Yes, principal, how is the chocolate now?"
Fang Ye said: "Later, I gave the chocolate some wild training to reduce its dependence on humans, and it was probably released after the National Day."
"Oh, my chocolate!"
Some netizens regrettably said: "Since chocolate likes to eat and drink why don't you stay and raise it by yourself?"
Fang Ye explained: "Well, the eagle owl is indeed a very handsome bird.
But the purpose of rescuing animals is to release them. People are in good health, and they are a mature bird with the ability to prey, so why should they stay?
Isn't this the equivalent of someone coming to the hospital for a cold and putting them in lock-up without letting them go? There is no such reason. If our zoo saves animals and stays at will, what is the difference with poaching? "
Wandering slowly in the cage, he walked to a small-collared scops owl.
The little guy was still sleeping with his eyes closed and didn't find Fang Ye coming over.
Fang Ye: "This vigilance is too bad, hey, wake up!"
With a light snap of his fingers, the collared owl was awakened from the dream!
When I opened my eyes, I found someone in front of me, his head circled in fright, and he shook his head.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Laughing!"
Fang Ye smiled and said: "Now these little owls are still practicing flying. When the next stage, they need to be given some special training to scare them and let them know that they have to hide during the day and cannot stay outside, otherwise they may It will become food for some day-traveling birds of prey."
The netizen curiously asked: "Dean, how does Owl graduate? Do I need an exam? Do I issue a diploma?"
"It's okay to issue a diploma, can I go to Hogwarts to deliver the letter after graduation."
"Can Owl send me a letter of admission from Hogwarts?"
Netizens were joking, and the topic quickly became crooked.
Fang Ye said: "You don't need an exam, you have the ability to survive in the wild, and you can graduate after our evaluation!
Including physical health, mental health, good flying ability, can hunt alone. "
