A big bird lost in Tuancheng Lake, fortunately found by the staff in time, after a simple rescue contact with the Beijing Wildlife Conservation Center, only to learn that this is a lost short-tailed stork, a seabird living in the sea, may get lost in the process of migration.
A few days ago, during a routine inspection, the staff of the Tuancheng Lake Management Office of Beijing Municipality found that a large bird had broken into the grille of the sewage removal machine, and it was mentally weak and lying still. "I couldn't see what kind of bird it was, but I was afraid that the sewage cleaner would hurt it when it was running, so I quickly moved it out." While the staff transferred the big bird to the workshop, built a simple bird's nest, and found water and food, they contacted the Beijing Wildlife Conservation Center for help.
After careful care, the big bird obviously regained some spirits, but still could not wave its wings. The staff of the Wildlife Conservation Center soon came to the scene, and after careful identification, it was confirmed that this big bird was called the short-tailed stork, a seabird that inhabited the coastal waters, and was listed by the State Forestry Administration as one of the world's endangered birds. Conservation center staff speculated that the short-tailed stork must have been lost on its way.
In fact, this is not the first time that the Tuancheng Lake Management Office rescued wild animals, just last year, the inspectors found an injured "owl" in the jurisdiction, and after being identified as the national second-level protected animal Red Horned Owl, the management office promptly contacted the International Fund for Animal Welfare to take away the red horned owl to prevent its secondary injury. In recent years, with the efforts of the Tuancheng Lake Management Office to build the ecological environment, it has attracted various birds such as swans, Dai Sheng, Autumn Sand Ducks, Herons, Mandarin Ducks and so on, forming a beautiful ecological harmony picture.
