Chapter 597: Visiting Red Beans
Rescue center.
Lin Ying entered the cage, picked up the hairballs spit out by the owl on the ground, and cleaned up.
The owl, which had been sleepy-eyed, stayed on the perch with one eye open and one eye closed to rest, and when it saw someone coming in, it immediately flapped its wings vigilantly and flew into the corner.
This owl is the one who was hit miserably by the car before, but has a tenacious will to survive!
With the increase in the number of animals rescued by the rescue center, the new animals now do not have names, although this miserable one does not have the special treatment of naming at all.
Unless it is a sensational story like milk tea wild boar, the media comes to interview it, and it is convenient to call it before giving it a name.
After re-surgically rebuilding a pair of wings, the owl didn't seem used to the new wings, and would fall off after two flapps. In addition, the cerebral hemorrhage has not fully recovered, and he continued to recuperate in the zoo for a month.
Now I am gradually adapting, and after the latest assessment by the rehabilitation therapist, the state has reached the release standard.
Fang Ye quietly observed outside the cage, feeling very relieved in his heart.
Looking at the way it flies, it is indeed recovering well!
When Lin Ying came out of the cage, she sighed: "It's a miracle that such a serious injury can be recovered!" ”
Lin Ying smiled: "Our work is not in vain!" Except for the newborn cute cubs, there's nothing happier than seeing the rescued animals get back to health. ”
Fang Ye nodded approvingly: "For birds of prey, there is no difference between being able to return to the blue sky and regaining a new life. ”
The two discussed the time and place of the release, and prepared to release it the day after tomorrow.
……
The volunteers in the group also heard about the owl's deeds, and when they heard that it was going to be released, they all said they wanted to come and see it.
In fact, there is nothing to see about releasing birds!
As soon as the transport box is opened, or the towel covering the head is lifted, the bird flapps its wings and flies into the sky, which is the most wonderful scene when it is released.
It is difficult to see their movements clearly with the naked eye, and they have to rely on the photographer to "click" to capture two photos of the cage and go back to enjoy it slowly.
Especially when the owls are released, they are generally selected when it is close to dusk, and the sky is already dark, and it is even more lonely.
It is also interesting to see the wild boar out of the cage, the huge momentum of the catapult starting and running quickly, and the snow leopard being released cautiously, looking back.
Although Fang Ye persuaded him in the group, some volunteers were still enthusiastic and did not feel troublesome, and wanted to give this strong owl a ride, saying that it was okay to drive over by himself.
So on the day of release, more than a dozen people came.
When I arrived at the predetermined location, I did not immediately release him, but first took a short rest.
Lin Ying checked it carefully again to see how the owl was in condition, whether its wings were loose, and it would be troublesome not to fly and fall apart.
In order to stabilize the bird's mood in this step, everyone except Lin Ying and Fang Ye stepped aside.
After a while, Lin Ying put the owl back in the box and made an "ok" gesture.
Fang Ye nodded, everyone's spirits were lifted!
The two of them put the transport box up, only to see the collared horned owl cowering in the corner of the box, its eyes wide open, turning its head to look around.
The expression was shocked, incredulous and confused, where was this?
Spread his wings and take two steps forward like a penguin, looking out at the scenery outside the transfer box.
Then he jumped out of the box, stepped on the ground, turned his head to look at Fang Ye and Lin Ying behind the box, looked at the blue carp that was taking pictures of it, and then looked at the volunteers around him who were half-squatting in the grass and showing a mysterious smile.
Not good, there is an ambush!
The wings flapped twice, and they soared into the sky.
A group of people stupidly raised their heads and watched the owl fly farther and higher in the gloomy sky, and looked in the direction it flew away for a long time.
"Bye-bye~"
"Slipped! Homecoming! ”
Although the volunteers tried hard to follow, they were very happy to see such a momentary scene.
……
The vultures rescued in the zoo, the training of learning to fly has not stopped.
The first step is to understand the meaning of the target stick, and the keeper takes out the target stick and knows to follow.
The second step is to start jumping on a stump, which can be done from the ground to a 10cm high stump.
However, with the arrival of summer and the gradual heat, many animals do not want to be active during the day, preferring to stay in a shady place to rest.
The vultures don't have the heart to train anymore, like students who desert in class, looking around during training.
This kind of training was not very effective, so the keepers had to put it on hold for the time being, and prepared to wait for the weather to get cooler in the autumn before continuing to train him.
On the small farm, the ears of rice are turning from green to yellow, and they are ready to be harvested in mid-July.
At this time, the students also finished the busy semester and began a happy summer vacation, so they could see what the rice they had sown looked like and harvest it themselves.
Fang Ye has been a lot more relaxed lately.
Take a walk in the zoo every day, see the green peacock parents walking their babies, and get close to the animals.
The most worrying thing is when the red beans will give birth, but it should be soon!
Come to the Red Panda Pavilion and get ready to visit the red beans.
Holding a pot of apples into the delivery room, Fang Ye called softly: "Red Bean, I'm coming to visit you~"
Red Bean poked his head out of the nest box, saw that it was Fang Ye, and slowly climbed down from the perch.
In the past, when breeding and mating, red beans and chestnuts were active in the infield!
Now that the red beans are in labor, they have been transferred to this delivery room specially arranged for it.
There is air conditioning in the room, and the temperature is controlled at 22-25 degrees, otherwise in the hot weather on the seaside side, the red pandas will move around with the cubs in their mouths after giving birth, trying to find a cool place for them, and the cubs may be killed in the process.
The chestnut was also driven out to prevent it from disturbing the production of red beans.
Chestnuts are released from the cage every day for training, and they also want to visit the red beans in the delivery room. But Red Bean has recently become emotionally sensitive and uneasy, and when he sees the chestnut coming, he hides in the nest box, not wanting to see it.
The red bean belly seems to have gained a circle, but it is originally chubby, and the appearance has not changed much.
The walking movement was much slower, and when I saw the apple, I didn't rush over, and I was like a grandmother Mingming.
When he walked up, he buried his head directly in the basin, grabbed a piece of apple with his paws and ate it.
Fang Ye gently touched its head and said with a smile: "When you see me, you don't say hello first, rub it with me!" I hurt you in vain, and the essence is still a snack. ”
