I Have a Safari Park

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

"When I was a child, I dug out the hoopoe's bird's nest. It really stinks. It stinks so badly."

Seeing that netizens were very interested in Hoopoe, Fang Ye said: "Hoopoe's beak is thin and thin, it looks like a woodpecker, but the beak of a woodpecker is much thicker.

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

This hoopoe hit the glass and injured his eye, and was brought back by us to recuperate.

When I first came to the rescue, I was listless. Recently, I have recovered relatively well. The lump in my eye has subsided obviously. Judging from the appearance of its ridged crown, is it very spiritual now? After a few days of observation, it can be released without any problems. "

"A few days ago, a bird hit the glass of our unit. It didn't fly away. I don't know what kind of bird it was. I put it on the table slowly, and then flew away by itself."

"I went to class at 7:30 yesterday morning. When I left the dormitory building, I saw a small green patch on the ground next to it. I looked at it and it looked like a white-eyed bird, which was already full of ants. Recently it was a bird. During the breeding season of the species, there are many bird nests in the school, I wonder if this white-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 wondered if I ate some sprayed insects. After listening to you, I think it might be a bird strike? This is the first time I heard this word! "

"Last time I saw a bird hit the glass on the second floor of the teaching building with my own eyes and fell down! I wanted to save it, but it died. It's a pity."

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

Speaking of bird strikes, netizens immediately began to discuss it.

Fang Ye said eloquently: "Bird strikes are a common cause of injury among the birds we rescue!

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

The highly reflective glass reflects the surrounding green plants or blue sky. Birds will believe it, thinking that there is an open space ahead, and bump into it.

There are also some scenic parks using transparent glass as the fence of the road, which is invisible and transparent to the birds, and they feel that they can pass through.

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

If you are chased by natural enemies, frightened by humans, flee for your life, or see a similar species in the reflection, thinking that it is a competitor or courtship object, you will get excited, fly too fast, and hit hard, you may be killed directly. .

Even if you don't hit him directly, if you fly high, you will faint and fall to your death.

In fact, research has found that when the glass area of ​​the building exceeds 30% to 40%, the energy consumption of heating or cooling will be greatly increased. Therefore, from the point of view of indoor temperature regulation alone, all-glass is not a very good structure, and it is a relatively good state under about 40%.

In addition to glass, there are lights, the lights of the city at night, which are very confusing for migrating birds. When birds are migrating, they use starlight and natural light to judge their direction. Bright lights may cause them to misjudge their direction. In the process of circling, one of them hits the glass without seeing clearly, or collides head-on with the same kind.

The number of birds killed each year by bird strikes is measured in billions. "

"Stunned, is it that serious?"

"A sigh!"

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

"Why have I never seen it?"

"It may be that stray cats or other animals ate the bird's body, or the aunt of the property picked it up and threw it away! There are still quite a few bird strikes."

"Director, is there any way to prevent bird strikes? My glass has been hit by birds three times this year! / Cover your face, my house was hit by birds in a row of residents, 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 closer? If you are closer to the green plants, the green plants will be reflected on the glass, which may increase the size of the glass. The visual error of birds, resulting in misjudgment.

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

As for how to stick it, you can stick some dot stickers. The diameter of the sticker is 1.5cm. If it is too large, it may not look good on it. If it is too small, the bird will not be able to see it, and it will not play the role of preventing bird collision. The horizontal interval between points is 10cm, which is exactly the length of the wings of small birds, and the upper and lower intervals are 5cm. Too wide may give the illusion that birds can drill through. "

"awesome!"

"I learned, go back and buy some stickers to stick on the glass."

"By the way, can I put an eagle sticker? Birds are scared away when they see it from a distance. It looks better."

Fang Ye said with a smile: "Eagle sticker, this bird is not a fool. When I see an eagle there, it hides and walks once or twice, and every time it passes by, it stays there and doesn't move. After a long time, it will not be seen. It's a fake, I don't take it seriously. But if you want the windows to look good, sticking animal stickers is also good, as long as it has the effect of blocking the line of sight.

Let's talk about what happened to our volunteer Xiao Zhi some time ago!

He was planning to go out to play that morning, and as soon as he opened the door, he heard a 'bang' and something fell from the top of his head and landed on his feet.

Xiaozhi took a closer look, this thing was a black-eyed bird, it was dizzy when it hit the glass, and there was a piece of grass in its mouth.

The white-eyed bird stretched out its feet on its back, then turned around, lay on its side, and tried hard with its wings, struggling several times to get up, but failed.

The eyes opened and closed for a while, looking painful and helpless, making people feel distressed, but the grass in his mouth never let go.

Xiao Zhi asked for help in the group at that time, asking what to do. We suggest to observe the situation first. If you have a mild concussion, you can fly away after recovering in a while. If you can't get up, send it to rescue Center this.

Xiaozhi then guarded the white-eyed bird. After about ten minutes, the white-eyed bird rested for a while, recovered his spirits, stood up strong and flew away.

The white-eyed bird kept the grass in its mouth until it flew away.

During the recent breeding season, this is the material it prepares for nesting and brooding. "

"Fuck! I actually want to cry!"

"There is great love in a small body."

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

"A bit shocking, wish there were more animal friendly designs! Live in harmony with our lovely animal neighbors."

"It makes me angry to think that there are still people shooting birds with slingshots."
