Chapter 492: The Little Collared Horned Owl Shaking His Head
Then, Fang Ye went to the rescue center again.
Say hello to Lin Ying and look at the few little collared horned owls that have been rescued recently.
The little ones are too young to be kept in a cage outside, but in a room inside the animal hospital.
They are provided with an artificial tree cavity-like nest, covered with hay, and usually fed at night after dark, imitating the habits of owls in the wild.
Four small collared horned owls, all of which sleep in the nest with their heads down.
Feeling the light at the entrance of the cave gone, he looked up.
When he noticed that a two-legged beast was looking at them through the hole, his eyes suddenly opened a little nervously, and his body began to sway up and down, left and right, and his head drew a circle.
This is how they deter their enemies!
One of them was still sleeping in a daze, and was woken up by his partner next to him, and quickly followed suit.
Several small collared horned owls opened their eyes together and shook their heads, and the magical scene looked inexplicably funny.
Fang Ye couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, remembering the classic Kim Kelly shaking his head threesome!
Accompanied by music, he shook his head very hilariously, and looked like the little guys.
"Looks pretty good!"
Put on the bird's head hand puppet, take tweezers and clip a few pieces of tender chicken to them, and hand them to the door of the nest.
When the little collared horned owl saw the food, he stretched out his head with some vigilance, caught the chicken, and quickly retracted his head and began to eat.
Another piece, this time with a different one sticking out its head to feed.
Having this kind of vigilance and vigilance against people means that they are wild, and it is easier to release them when they grow up.
When I came out of the room, I had a small meeting with Lin Ying and other veterinarians to discuss the release of the ruddy ducks.
After this period of rearing, the ruddy shelduck has recovered some health and can fly in the cage for a while.
However, after all, they have been in the farm before, and their flying ability is much worse than that of wild ruddy shelducks.
If it is rashly released into the reservoir near the sea, it may lack flexibility and vigilance, and it will be caught by birds of prey and eaten as a buffet for a few days.
After discussion, it was decided to adopt a milder soft release method!
Put these ruddy shelducks in a lake of several thousand square meters behind the zoo, which is ready to be developed as a waterfowl lake.
Now that the surrounding roads, toilets, and resting benches have been installed, and animals such as swans have been introduced, they can be visited as attractions.
Soft release and release to the lake can familiarize these ruddy shelducks with the way of life in the water and further recover.
The zoo can also provide food for these ruddy shelducks every day, so that they can survive and be guaranteed.
There is no restriction on them, you can leave freely if you want, and the zoo is in the suburbs, which is also a good place to release them.
……
The staff of the rescue center took these ruddy shelducks to the edge of the waterfowl lake.
After opening the top lid of the box, a ruddy shelduck poked its head out!
"Goo Goo Goo
Screaming loudly, he stepped on the edge of the box, flapped his wings and flew out excitedly, drawing a graceful arc and falling into the lake.
Falling into the water, the soles of his feet flicked, and suddenly slid out a meter away.
Some were on the edge of the box, ready to slow down, and before they could stand firmly, they were squeezed by their companions who were in a hurry to go out behind, staggered and fell to the stones on the shore, and slid down the slope "sliding" into the water.
Ruddy shelducks flew out of the box and landed in the lake!
Twisting his neck and ass in the water, sticking his head into the water, flapping his wings and making a splash.
Keep repeating the action, washing your feathers.
After a long time in the cage, you can return to nature!
I couldn't be happier.
There are more timid ones, who shrank in the cage and did not dare to come out, and drilled into the corner, and the staff erected the box and poured it out before pouring it out.
There are also some who don't like to go into the water and stay on the shore to be active.
……
This weekend, the zoo's farming activities began again.
The last activity was to sprinkle rice seeds into the mud embryo and pat it with a broom, which was very simple, and many children ended it before they had a good time.
In recent weeks, when I visit the zoo on weekends, I make a point of stopping to see how the rice is growing.
When the first week came, the rice seeds had just broken through the soil, and they had grown small green seedlings.
Come and see it every week, and you've grown a lot taller!
Now a month has passed, and there are already people with the height of their forearms.
Clumps grow together densely, and at this time, the original space is not very sufficient.
They have to be pulled out of the ground and planted at intervals of distance, which is called rice planting.
The seedlings have been pulled out, and the fields where the rice is planted have been rehearsed.
The scheduled time is 8:30 in the morning!
In the morning, when the sun has not fully risen and it is cooler, I went to the field to plant rice.
After the zoo opened, many children and parents who participated in the activities came to the small ranch.
Tang Xiaoxin and Qian Keke, who were the first to sign up for farming, were both assigned to the rice fields.
The two little loli waved excitedly: "Brother Fang Ye!" ”
Fang Ye nodded with a smile and said, "Yo, how are you!" ”
Tang Xiaoxin said curiously: "Brother Fang Ye, the last few times I came to the zoo, I didn't see you!" ”
Fang Ye touched his chin and said with a smile: "Well, it's just a trip to Qinghai, to see animals such as snow leopards and rabbits, grassland carved golden eagles, and rescue snow leopards." ”
Tang Xiaoxin's eyes widened and she was dumbfounded: "Ah! ”
When a little fat man heard what he said, he immediately became excited and said, "I know the snow leopard, and the snow leopard is the king of the snow mountain!" ”
These children, although they have never heard of animals such as rabbits and snow leopards, but the name of the king of the snow mountain is very powerful when they hear it!
"Brother Fang Ye, does the snow leopard also listen to you? Have you ever touched a snow leopard? ”
"What kind of animal is a rabbit, is it a rabbit?"
pestered him one by one to ask questions!
The parents were on the side, smiling at this scene.
Mr. Fang is not only popular with animals, but also with children.
Seeing that the scene was a little chaotic, Fang Ye hurriedly said: "This is a long story, when we finish planting, I'll tell you about it!" ”
After looking around, I felt that there were already a lot of people, clapped my hands and said, "Let's name it!" Let's see if we're all here. ”
With such a fun activity and the presence of the worshipping principal, the children are still very active in participating.
Many people set their alarm clocks early in the morning and call their parents to come early in the morning.
Except for one parent, who said in the group that he had something to do with today's leave, saying that the child was sick and took him to the doctor, and the rest of the people would come over.
Then the equipment is distributed.
You can choose to go barefoot in the fields, or wear waterproof sling pants and rubber rain boots prepared by the zoo.
Tang Xiaoxin originally wanted to wear some equipment, but seeing that Qian Keke took off her shoes with great interest, she felt that it was indeed more fun to go to the field barefoot, so she also took off her shoes.
