took netizens to a nearby cage to have a look.

The cage is covered with a layer of fallen leaves, and there are small low grass sheds inside, as well as several raised shelves, and there is a feed and water basin on the ground.

"Hey, what's this for? Why is the nest on the ground? ”

"Don't you see an owl?"

"This is going to be used to raise chickens?"

Netizens speculated.

"If that was Owl Elementary School, this one belongs to the university! The grass hut on the ground is for rats, isn't it luxurious. We put some corn here to attract wild rats to settle down, which is equivalent to a subsidy for their settling. ”

Fang Ye walked around the cage and saw a hole appear under the grass shed, raised his eyebrows and said, "Not bad!" Rats have already come, and some of this corn has been spilled.

When these little owls have almost mastered their flying skills, they can be brought over to imitate the natural environment for hunting, without providing food, and let the owls catch mice and eat them by themselves. ”

"Mickey is not a good house!"

"I was just going to say this!"

"Hahaha! Snatch the bamboo shoots, trick the rats in and kill them! ”

"Good guy, where is this mansion, this is a murderous mansion!"

"Mouse: This subsidy, don't do it!"

Fang Ye smiled: "How is it, our school is okay, right?" After graduation, it will be no problem to send letters to Hogwarts. ”

Then he said seriously: "But no matter how good the school is, it is far from being as good as the teaching of owl parents, so if you see chicks, don't pick them up casually, and bring them back is to pit them."

Our rescue center often receives such calls, saying that when they see a bird on the ground and can't fly, they must have been abandoned by their parents, and they have been rescued and brought home, or they have picked up a bird somewhere, and they call and ask directly how to raise it, and they are ready to raise it themselves.

Take owls as an example, first of all, they are national second-class protected animals, and it is illegal for individuals to keep them.

Rescuing a chick is a very complex and professional thing, and it takes a lot of energy, if an individual wants to rescue, do you know what the bird eats and what trace elements need to be added? Can you teach a bird to communicate with its own kind and discern the meaning of different calls and behaviors? Can you teach it how to get food in nature and avoid predators? ”

Many times, although this kind of help comes from good intentions, it actually does bad things.

After listening to these questions asked by Fang Ye, netizens suddenly pondered.

I never thought it would be such a hassle to rescue a chick!

I thought I might take it home, put it in a cage for a while, and feed some rice and some water.

"What should I do, Principal?"

Fang Ye said: "First observe the nearby environment to see if there are any parent birds or nests, and then see if the young birds are injured. If there are no injured young, they can be returned to the nest or to a nearby treetop, where the parent bird will continue to nurse them.

Or it's better than taking it home anyway.

Some baby owls can't fly, but they are very good at climbing trees and can climb back on their own.

There are also grass owls, they either make nests in trees, or they nest on the ground, and the little grass owls stay in the grass, and are thought to be nested and picked up, and the parents of this grass owl come back and see how collapsed.

If there are stray cats and dogs nearby, the nesting site is close to the road and the traffic is unsafe, or the bird is indeed injured, you can put the baby bird in a cardboard box with a towel and contact the local rescue center.

Don't feed things casually, the last time we received a call from the rescue center, the nest of the little collared horned owl has been found nearby, and you can put it back directly, but the rescuer kindly fed the cubs some millet, and the stomach was a little swollen, so you can only bring it back to observe for a few days and then put it back. ”

"Wow, owls can climb trees, up posture!"

"Laughing and crying, what kind of brain circuit is feeding millet to an owl? People are birds of prey! ”

"Well, don't laugh at me, I used to really think that the chicks could just feed the millet!"

Some netizens asked: "Principal, if the chicks are touched by the smell of human beings, and then send them back, will the parent birds still recognize it?" Won't you just throw it away? ”

Someone immediately retorted: "Birds don't have a sense of smell, how can they smell people!" ”

Fang Ye explained: "First of all, birds have a sense of smell, and some of them are very keen.

Birds of prey, such as vultures, can smell carrion from a distance, and albatrosses, which can be navigated by smell.

Then there is the issue of abandonment.

Indeed, many mammals recognize smells, such as cats, lions, wolves, and the cubs of these animals, if they are stained with odors, they may feel that they are not their children, and they will abandon them or even kill infants.

However, birds generally recognize their young not by smell, but by their appearance and voice, and even if they are touched by human scent, they will continue to raise them. ”

"I think I should give myself a name" rewarded 20 rice balls!

"Seal, Hanqing" rewarded a rocket!

"Cornflower rapid-fire mortar" rewarded a plane!

"Call Linhai Zoo for serious and responsible rescue!"

"This kind of correct bird rescue science is so rare!"

"Director, did you post an article on the official account of the zoo about bird rescue? Sort out what you talked about today, and I will go to the circle of friends to forward it, which can be regarded as promoting the protection of animals. ”

"I think this knowledge should be written into a biology textbook."

"Let's work together to protect the cute animals!"

Fang Ye saw the rewards and barrages from netizens, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your support!" ”

Then they came to a cage where a strange-looking bird was walking on the ground.

The wings are black and white, and the beak is slender and slender.

"Goo Goo Goo Go

The rhythm of the call is very even.

Seeing someone coming, the big orange crown on his head suddenly opened vigilantly, looking very eye-catching.

"Hey, what kind of bird is this?"

"Woodpecker?"

Fang Ye said: "This is not a woodpecker, this is a hoopoe, nicknamed Aunt Stink, and called a coffin bird!" It is a very common bird in China, and it is distributed almost everywhere. ”

"Why did the director say that I haven't seen any of the common birds? Cover your face"

"The only wild birds I've ever seen are magpies and sparrows!"

"We're called! Lots next to the unit. ”

"Why is it called Aunt Stink? Does it stink? ”

Fang Ye said: "It smells very stinky, a smell of feces."

They may smear their bodies with feces or carcasses or something rancid, including the female during the breeding period will secrete a foul of odor and rub into the nest, which is a biological weapon to protect themselves and their children, and other animals do not want to approach when they smell this. ”

complained and said: "The hoopoe is a bird that is very difficult to rescue, mainly because of nausea, and if you don't eat when you save yourself, you have to feed and feed the water in person, and it is very uncooperative to feed things, and you may accidentally throw off people." ”

"Hahaha, is it so miserable?"

"I've seen it!"
