Xin'an Evening News Anhui Network Dawan Client News At about 13:00 on February 19, the Wuwei Municipal Public Security Bureau's SteepGou Police Station received instructions from the command center: When an enthusiastic resident of Zhongtai Administrative Village in the jurisdiction was working in the field, he accidentally "picked up" an injured bird, suspected of being a state-protected animal, and needed rescue.
After receiving the police, the police immediately went to the scene. After understanding, it was learned that when Mr. Xia, a resident, was working in his own field at noon, he accidentally found a bird lying in the grass and motionless. This bird is not quite like ordinary birds, with a long pointed beak, red eyes, gray-green feathers, and is very cute. Mr. Xia felt that this bird may be a nationally protected animal, and went forward to take a closer look and found that the bird had no intention of flying away. Mr. Xia carefully picked up the bird with both hands and found that the bird had a scratch on its left wing, which may have been caused by entanglement with wire mesh or wires.
After Mr. Xia, who is highly aware of environmental protection, brought the birds home, he immediately called the "110" police help number. Soon, the police of the Qiaogou police station who rushed over contacted the local forestry department for the first time and requested professional assistance in identification and carrying out relevant rescue and treatment work. At about 14:30, the staff of the forestry department of Wuwei City rushed to the Steep Ditch Police Station to receive the injured bird.
After preliminary identification, the bird is named "Night Heron", which is a national second-level protected animal and was listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in 2012. It is reported that night herons mostly inhabit and move in streams, ponds, rivers, swamps and paddy fields in plains and low hilly areas. Traveling at night, they like to flock to live mainly on animal foods such as fish, frogs, shrimp, and aquatic insects.
