NGO SEO/BirdLife launched this Wednesday’ campaign.takingTo raise awareness and to let the public know what to do in case of disaster. encountering a “down and endangered” baby bird on the ground, “Now it’s summer and it’s hot”.
The conservation organization warns in a statement The urge to “try to help and save such vulnerable creatures” can actually become “a reprimand for these birds.”Falling down is part of their learning process, as they “evolve at a dizzying pace” and are often limited to following the natural pattern of leaving the nest as soon as possible.
For example, a sparrow may leave its nest before it is two weeks old, because in the nest they are “extremely vulnerable” to predators, and even if they cannot fly well, it is sometimes preferable to do nothing with it. .if we see it’s in a safe place. “During this period, their parents are still interested in feeding them” because they can easily find them and it is “really difficult” for them to leave the puppies.
Swallows, blackbirds, and terns also develop rapidly, and once the chicks are fully feathered, their SEO/BirdLife situation is likely “totally normal, voluntary, and requiring no intervention on our part,” he says.
If the fast onesThey are birds that spend most of their lives in flight and are not adapted to perching where it is difficult to take off from the ground. Just don’t get hurt Place them in the palm of your hand, as high as possible, in an open area. “If it can fly fast, it will take off immediately.. You never have to throw or push. In the case of fast puppies, it is necessary to reapply to a rescue center,” the entity says.
However, they are sometimes bred they accidentally fall out of the nest early and find themselves in a dangerous place, in which case they are “advised to go to a wildlife rescue center” or contact environmental authorities, such as forestry agencies, or SEPRONA to 112.
The environmental organization shows: Often the best thing to do is to do nothing and let nature be. and especially not feeding the chicken with cookies, bread, or milk (the milk can kill it directly) or not getting the holes in its beak wet (which can hamper its breathing and doom it to a “slow and painful death”, he insists), or over-extend the bird with your hands, even at the expense of ruining its feathers. Do not manipulate.
Basic things if I find a fallen chick:
- DO NOT feed puppies with milk, biscuits or breadcrumbs. Whatever the type: They need protein to develop properly. milk can kill it directly
- DO NOT wet the holes on the faucet The bird breathes while trying to give the baby water. Most likely, you will condemn him to a slow and painful death.
- DO NOT hold the bird with your hands Too much contact with the feathers will damage the feathers and prevent the baby bird from living freely.
