On May 9, the Wildlife Rescue Station of the Forestry Bureau of Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, rescued two birds one after another. Stationmaster Dong Chaowei uploaded the photos of the two birds to the Internet, and netizens laughed when they saw it, saying, "These two goods look like they are talking about cross talk together, and their small appearance is too cute." ”
On the morning of the 9th, the Wildlife Rescue Station received a call for help from Mr. Zhang from the Houzhai Agricultural and Sideline Products Wholesale Market in Erqi District, saying that he had picked up an owl cub. Hearing the news, the staff of the rescue station immediately rushed to the scene and found that the injured was an eagle owl, two or three fists in size, but it was an adult bird of prey that ate larger insects. The eagle owl is a type of owl and is a national second-class protected animal.
Mr. Zhang told the Elephant News reporter that he was from Kaifeng and came to Zhengzhou Houzhai Agricultural and Sideline Products Wholesale Market three years ago to pull goods. On the afternoon of May 8, he and his friends saw a bird squatting under a tree near the market. Mr. Zhang then took the injured bird away until he later called the wildlife rescue station. The little guy looks very cute, but he didn't expect it to be a bird of prey. ”
Coincidentally, when the staff escorted the eagle owl back to the station for treatment, they received a call from the Jinshui Road Police Station in Zhengzhou City, saying that a well-meaning citizen had picked up a big bird near the intersection of Weiyi Road and Jingwu Road, and it was injured in the leg, which looked very fierce, and had to be sent to the police station because he didn't know how to deal with it. Therefore, the staff of the rescue station rushed to the Jinshui Road Police Station non-stop, and found that although the bird was large, it was a juvenile night heron, which had a docile personality and belonged to the "three haves (important ecological, social, and scientific value) wading birds", which was more common than the eagle owl in Zhengzhou City.
Dong Chaowei, the director of the Wildlife Rescue Station, posted a photo of the two birds to the WeChat circle of friends, which immediately attracted onlookers, one big and one small, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short. In particular, the eagle owl's big round eyes are very pleasing. Some netizens ridiculed: "The two of them look like they are talking about cross talk together." ”
At present, the two "wounded and sick" have been treated and fed in isolation.
Spring is here, and it's the season of animal activity. Stationmaster Dong reminded caring citizens that once they find wild animals that need to be injured, they should not be released easily, and they can directly call the Wildlife Rescue Station of Zhengzhou Forestry Bureau 68681120. The staff will teach the proper disposal methods in a timely manner and give professional assistance at the first time.
