"I remember that the national bird of Israel is the hoopoe!"

"When I was a child, I dug out the hoopoe's bird's nest, and it really stinks, and it stinks so bad."

Seeing that netizens were very interested in the hoopoe, Fang Ye talked again: "The hoopoe's mouth is pointed and thin, and it looks more similar to a woodpecker, but the woodpecker's beak is much thicker.

The hoopoe's slender pointed beak is not suitable for pecking wood, mainly turning insects in the ground to eat, and the mouth is slightly curved, which can be easily inserted in and pulled out.

This hoopoe was hit on the glass and injured its eye, and we brought it back to recuperate.

When the rescue first came, I was listless, but I have recovered relatively well recently, and the lump in my eye has subsided significantly. Observe for a few more days, and you can be released without any problem. ”

"A few days ago, a bird hit the glass of our unit, and it didn't fly away, so I don't know what kind of bird it was. I put it on the table and slowed it down, and then flew away on its own. ”

"Yesterday morning when I went to class at 7:30 a.m., when I got out of the dormitory building, I caught a glimpse of a small patch of green on the ground next to it. It's been the breeding season for birds recently, and there are many nests in the school, so I wonder if this embroidery-eyed bird was killed on the way home from foraging......"

"I said that we can occasionally see complete bird carcasses under our unit, and I wonder if I have eaten some sprayed insects, and I feel that it may be a bird strike? It's the first time I've heard that word! ”

"Last time, I saw a bird hit the glass on the second floor of the school building and fell headlong! I wanted to save it, but I died, so it's a pity. ”

"Why do birds hit the glass? Can't they see? ”

Speaking of bird strikes, netizens immediately started to talk about it.

Fang Ye said: "Bird collision is a relatively common cause of injury among the birds we rescue!"

In the city we live in, many high-rise buildings are equipped with large glass curtain walls.

The highly reflective glass reflects the surrounding greenery or the blue sky. The bird will believe it, thinking that there is an open field ahead, and will crash into it.

There are also some scenic parks that use transparent glass as a fence for the road, which is invisible and transparent to the birds, and feels that they can pass through.

If the flight speed is slow, you may have a slight concussion if you hit it, and you can recover after falling off and resting for a while.

If you are chased by natural predators, frightened by humans, fleeing for your life, or seeing a similar kind in the reflection, thinking that it is a competitor or a courtship partner, you are excited, flying too fast, and hitting hard, you may be killed directly.

Even if you don't die directly, if you fly relatively high, you will faint and fall down and die.

In fact, studies have now found that when the glass area of a building exceeds 30% to 40%, the energy consumption for warmth or cooling will be greatly increased. Therefore, from the perspective of indoor temperature regulation alone, all-glass is not a very good structure, and about 40% or less is a relatively good state.

In addition to the glass, there are also lights, the lights of the city at night, which are very confusing for migrating birds. It is possible that in the process of hovering, one of them crashes into the glass without seeing clearly, or collides with the same kind.

The number of birds that die each year due to bird strikes is calculated in billions. ”

"Shocked, is it so serious?"

"A sigh!"

"Light pollution is getting worse in cities now, not to mention the impact on birds, and it's not good for people's health."

"Why haven't I ever seen it?"

"It may have been eaten by a stray cat or other animal, or the aunt of the property picked it up and threw it away! There are quite a few bird strikes. ”

"Principal, is there any way to prevent bird strikes, my glass has been hit by birds three times this year! / Cover your face, a row of residents was hit by a bird in my house, I don't know why. ”

Fang Ye looked at the barrage and said, "If your house is hit, is it because your glass and green plants are relatively close?" If it is relatively close to the greenery, the greenery will be reflected on the glass, which may increase the bird's visual error and cause misjudgment.

A very simple way to prevent bird strikes is to put stickers on the glass to create a visual obstruction effect.

As for how to paste, you can paste some dotted stickers, the diameter of the sticker is 1.5cm, too big may not be beautiful to paste, too small birds can not see, can not play the role of preventing bird hits. The horizontal distance between the dots is 10 cm, which is exactly the length of the wings of small birds, and the upper and lower spacing is 5 cm, which is too wide to give the bird the illusion that it can drill through. ”

"Great!"

"I've learned it, so I'll buy some stickers to stick on the glass when I go back."

"Anyway, can you put an eagle sticker? The bird was scared away when it saw it from afar. It looks a little better. ”

Fang Ye smiled: "Eagle sticker, this bird is not a fool, when I see an eagle there, I dodge it once or twice, and every time I pass by, it stops there, and after a long time, it can see that it is a fake, and I don't think so." However, if you want the windows to look beautiful, it is also good to put animal stickers, as long as they block the view.

Let's talk about what our volunteer Ash encountered some time ago!

He was going to go out that morning, and as soon as he opened the door, he heard a 'bang' and something fell from his head and landed at his feet.

Ash looked at it, and this thing was an embroidery-eyed bird, fainted from hitting the glass, and still had a piece of grass in its mouth.

The embroidery-eyed bird stretched out its feet on its back to the sky, then turned around and lay on its side on the ground, straining its wings, and struggled several times to get up, but without success.

His eyes opened and closed for a while, looking painful and helpless, and it was distressing, but the grass in his mouth never let go.

Ash asked for help in the group at the time.,Ask what to do.,We recommend observing the situation first.,Maybe it's a relatively mild concussion.,After a while, you'll be able to fly away after your state recovers.,If you can't get up, you'll be sent to the rescue center here.。

Ash then guarded the embroidery-eyed bird, and after about ten minutes, the embroidery-eyed bird rested for a while, recovered its spirits, stood up strongly, and flew away.

The embroidery-eyed bird did not put down the grass in its mouth until it flew away.

In the recent breeding season, this is the material for which it is prepared to nest and raise its broods. ”

"! I felt like crying! ”

"In a small body, there is great love."

"Life is not easy, and the life of a bird is equally difficult."

"It's a bit of a shock, and I wish there were more animal-friendly designs! Live in harmony with our adorable animal neighbors. ”

"It's very angry to think that there are people who are hitting birds with slingshots."
