Nandu News A few days ago, three baby owls suddenly came to the campus of Guangzhou Peizheng Middle School, and the little owl stood on the tree with big amber eyes, which became a "key protection object" for teachers and students. Until noon on May 9, one of the owls was still squatting in the tree, so the school's biology teacher made the owl a "little teaching assistant" and gave the students a unique biology lesson.
The school's biology teacher used the owl as a "little teaching assistant" and gave the students a unique biology lesson.
According to the school teacher, there were owls nesting in the campus trees before, and on the morning of May 8, some faculty and staff found three little owls squatting on the lawn, guessing that the owl should have accidentally flown on the lawn while learning to fly. Since the three little owls were not yet very flyable, the teacher placed them on a pomegranate tree. For a time, these three little owls became the "top stream" on campus, attracting a group of teachers and students to watch during recess.

The owl is a national second-class protected animal, and the school called the relevant department on the same day, and the professionals came to pick up the three little owls in the afternoon. The forestry department identified three spotted storks (xiūliú), which had basically grown and were learning to fly out of the nest. That night, the three owls were returned to Peizheng Middle School, and the school fenced off the area. At the same time, a teacher found that the parents of the three owls were in one of the big trees on campus.
On the morning of May 9, one of the little owls flew to the prickly tree and sat for the morning. So at half past noon, Bi Yuhua, a teacher from the biology department of Guangzhou Peizheng Middle School, let the little owl become a "little teaching assistant" and gave a small outdoor biology class to several high school students.
At noon on May 9, one of the owls was still sitting in the tree, so the school's biology teacher made the owl a "little teaching assistant" and gave the students a unique biology lesson.
In the process of teacher Bi Yuhua's explanation, the owl "little teaching assistant" also rotated his little head from time to time, "Students observe, the owl's head can rotate 270 degrees, and the rotation amplitude is large, which is convenient for observing the surrounding environment. In this special biology class, Mr. Bi talked to the students about the habits of owls, how to get along with owls, and how to protect them. Teacher Bi told the students, "The owl is a national second-class protected animal, the number is very small, we can see it up close, but don't touch it." ”
On May 8, the three baby owls became the "key protection objects" of teachers and students.
It is reported that this is not the first time that owls have appeared on the campus of Guangzhou Peizheng Middle School, and last May, when high school seniors were preparing to clean up and set up the examination room to welcome the three models, there were also owls flying on the windowsill of the classroom.
Last May, an owl also flew into the classroom of Peizheng Middle School. (Screenshot of the school official account tweet)
According to reports, Guangzhou Peizheng Middle School has won honors such as "Guangzhou Garden Unit", "National 100 Famous Schools", "Provincial Green School" and "International Ecological School Green Flag". The school's bird garden is designed near the shady ecological area, and the leafy banyan trees provide a good habitat for carrier pigeons. Outside of class, students observe and feed small animals on campus. Love Bird Week organizes students to design artificial nests, select plans to make nests, set up bird spots, and usually participate in bird breeding activities. The good ecological environment of the campus has attracted homing pigeons, gray doves, spotted woodpeckers, house swallows, thrushes, red-billed acacias, magpies, wrens, purple thrushes, updo crowns, sparrows and other birds to seek food and nest.
