After Fang Ye took the cardboard box, he quickly met up with the blue carp downstairs in the dormitory.

Although the blue carp didn't know what to do with the towel for him, he probably guessed that it was used when he was rescuing the eagle owl, so he opened it and showed it: "Principal, is such a big towel enough?" I also brought two protective gloves with me! ”

Fang Ye praised: "This size is okay!" Yes, you are still careful! ”

Two towels, one is used to cushion the bottom of the carton when transporting, by the way can protect the foot of the eagle owl, the bottom of the cardboard box is still relatively hard, directly loaded into the foot is not good.

The other piece is used when catching the eagle owl, which can blindfold it, so that it cannot see the movements of people, reduce stress, and facilitate capture and Baoding.

Lei Zhi also drove the van over after a while, and the two got into the car and moved towards Linhai No. 2 Middle School in the rain!

The car swayed, and the rain roared outside.

Fang Ye picked up the scissors and poked holes in the top of the cardboard box.

The blue carp asked a little nervously, "Principal, how are we going to catch it when we get there?" What should I look out for? ”

Fang Ye comforted: "It's okay, it's very simple. ”

Wait for him to put a pacifying skill in the past, which can reduce the fear of the eagle owl! Even if you resist, it shouldn't be too fierce.

He explained to the blue carp a little: "When catching, different species of birds of prey behave differently and capture them in different ways. For birds that are weak and have little ability to resist, as long as they are gently picked up.

The vultures are very fast, and they need to be plugged into a corner and covered by a large cloth bag.

Some birds of prey will adopt a defensive posture with their backs close to the ground when people are approaching, and at this time, they can quickly strike and directly grab their wings or legs.

Ordinary birds of prey can use a net or towel to cover its head, control its appendages (zhí), and then hold its wings. During the process of Baoding, be sure to cover your head with a towel or eagle hat to reduce stress. ”

"Oooh!"

Lan Carp nodded and listened attentively, taking out his phone and taking notes.

Some wondered: "What?" fuzhi？ ”

Fang Ye explained with a smile: "Attached! It is a combined structure of the ankle and metacarpal bones of the bird.

Many people think that the knees of the chicken or bird are facing backwards, and the knees of the birds are actually facing forward, and the joint in the middle is not the knees of the bird, but its ankles, and the long section below actually belongs to the part of the feet.

Above the ankle are the bird's calves, and the bird's knees are hidden under the skin of the abdomen! All birds are like that. ”

Lan Carp's eyes widened and he looked incredulous: "Huh??? ”

Strange knowledge has increased again.

Fang Ye continued: "When controlling a raptor, the main thing is to pay attention to its claws, the claws of raptors are very sharp!"

Some birds of prey may bite, while others like ospreys flap their wings. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job of Baoding, so that its claws, mouth, and wings are far away from the face, and it is not a trivial matter to be scratched and bitten on the face. ”

Along the way, I told the blue carp about some raptor rescue and bird-related knowledge, and the blue carp listened attentively.

Lei Zhi, who was driving, suddenly spoke: "Principal, we will be there in five minutes in another five minutes!" ”

"Okay!"

Fang Ye took out his mobile phone and called Lao Bai: "Hey, Teacher Bai?" We'll be there right away. ”

"Okay, I'll come out to pick you up!"

"No, no, you talk to the security guard at the door, just let us in!"

However, Lao Bai still came out to greet the school gate in person, greeted them politely, and took them to the water room.

After opening the door, Lao Bai glanced at the corner where the eagle owl was shrunk and said in surprise: "Hey, it's gone!" Did it fly away? ”

Did you run for nothing?

"I shouldn't have run away, maybe I hid somewhere else!"

Fang Ye glanced at the window and guessed.

The window is only halfway open, and the eagle owl can fly in, but it may not find an exit to fly out.

After looking around the water room, he glanced behind the door, and as expected, he found the eagle owl: "Here!" ”

The eagle owl seemed to have rested for a while, no one was noisy and disturbed, and his mental state had become a little better, not as frightened as in the photos taken by Tang Xiaoxin.

Finding that someone was coming, his originally squinted eyes opened, and his ears were erected, as if a person raised his long eyebrows, looking at Fang Ye vigilantly, and his big yellow eyes blinked.

Then he leaned down, and his feathers began to swell like an inflatable blow, and his black beak struck up and down, making a low, loud "click" sound, which echoed in the small water room, as if two cannonballs buried in the earth had exploded.

The blue carp originally thought that the eagle owl was very cute, but he was startled when he heard this voice, and his body subconsciously shrank, and then asked in a low voice: "What kind of sound is this?" ”

Fang Ye explained, "This is an eagle owl warning the enemy not to approach. ”

Although the eagle owl looks fine, the more wild animals face natural predators, the more they have to show their health, and they will not easily show their weakness.

In birds, because the body is covered with thick feathers, some injuries that are not very serious or not very large can be difficult to detect without careful examination, and may be overlooked.

That's the problem. The skin of some wild birds is very thin, and the connective tissue in some parts of the muscles, blood vessels, nerves, and the like are very thin and fragile, and if they are really injured, the wound is not treated in time and exposed to the air, and it will die for a long time.

And once necrosis, especially in the upper ulnar flexor of the wing, and then to the distal carpal metacarpal bone, once there is local skin necrosis of more than two square centimeters, the distal end will also be completely necrotic, and the best result is amputation.

If the limb is amputated, the bird will not be able to fly at all and will become disabled.

If it is detected later and the amputation is not carried out in time, the necrotic extremity may be enriched with potassium ions, and the impact of high blood potassium on the heart is great, and the heart will stop to a certain extent.

Just like someone who is buried in a building during an earthquake, and the limb is held down for a few hours, it may be necessary to consider amputation directly, because if the stone slab is lifted, the potassium ions enriched at the distal end will hit the heart at once, and then the person may die suddenly.

Therefore, when rescuing birds, it is best to call a professional to come, do not move at will, otherwise the uninjured will be tossed into an injury, and it will be more troublesome to rescue it.

For the sake of safety, Fang Ye opened his observation eye and took a look at the state of the eagle owl!

[Eagle owl

Mood: Vigilance

Health Status: Slightly Poor]

A little relieved in my heart, it's okay!
