I Have a Safari Park

The harvest in the past few days is not only to see all kinds of rare animals.

Once, Fang Ye saw an apparently artificial bird's nest on top of a roadside telephone pole.

There lives a pair of falcons!

A falcon squatted inside, as if it was hatching an egg. The father of the falcon came back with a pika from the outside and brought it to his partner to eat. The two falcons were happy.

Fang Ye asked curiously, "What's the situation?"

Qu Nan shook his head, saying that he only knew that some telephone poles had this installed and that some birds had nested on them, but he didn't know the specifics.

So Fang Ye took a photo and asked the short-eared owl teacher.

The short-eared owl teacher saw the photo and replied that it would be outside, and came back at night.

Fang Ye understands!

Looking at his circle of friends, he observes animals outside all day long.

In the evening, the short-eared owl teacher sent a message back and explained it to him in detail.

Because the raptor itself likes to rest at a high place, the vision is wide and you can overlook the distance.

This kind of pole is called a tension pole. Compared with ordinary poles, the structure is different. The distance between the wires is shorter, and the wires are exposed. On the top of the pole, the raptor is more likely to be electrocuted.

Raptors generally have no natural enemies. As a hunter at the top of the food chain, if a large number of accidental deaths occur due to electric shock, it will inevitably have a profound impact on the local ecosystem.

When ecologists came to investigate a few years ago, they discovered this situation. They discussed with the power company and put a layer of insulating cover on the tension rod, so that the situation of electrocution of raptors was much less.

The other methods are the bird repelling device and the eagle rod. The bird repelling device can drive the birds away from the tension rod. The eagle rod is also a high shelf, but one is the cost problem, and the other problem is that the eagle rod is generally stronger than the wire. The rod is short and not very attractive to the Raptor.

In the past two years, I have creatively thought of a way to get an artificial bird's nest specially designed for raptors, combining the telephone pole and the eagle pole.

The location of the bird's nest is further above the top of the tension rod and far away from the wires, further reducing the risk of electrocution for the raptors, who can also use these nests for breeding.

This kind of ecological power grid project has now been promoted in Yushu, and about 3,000 special bird nests have been installed in five counties.

The telephone pole that hides murderous intentions can also be a gentle cradle of life.

Every year, many chicks are born and grow on the poles.

These raptors will make the ecosystem on the grassland more healthy and stable.

Fang Ye thought of this, and his heart surged for a while!

This is what every person who loves wild animals aspires to pursue, a way of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

This kind of ecological telephone pole can also be displayed in a suitable place in the zoo in the future.

At the end of the trip to Ansai, Fang Ye and Brother Qunan said goodbye to their family, thanking them for having a pleasant journey here.

I got in the car and went back to Yushu, and took the plane to Xining, where I went to play with the director Qi.

When he came to Xining Wildlife Park, he usually received others at the zoo. This time, the head of Qi Yuan came out to pick them up. Fang Ye felt quite fresh.

Although it was the first time they met, they usually chatted a lot on WeChat, and they became more familiar with each other. They felt like old friends.

Director Qi shook hands with him enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "Hello, Director Fang, welcome to visit!"

And blue carp also said hello.

Fang Ye joked: "President Qi, I didn't expect you to be quite handsome!"

Qi Yuanyuan put his hand on the hair curtain, pulled it back slyly, and raised his eyebrows: "Every time someone sees me, they will praise me for being upright, kind, handsome, handsome, and a handsome man!"

Fang Ye was stunned, shouldn't you praise me for being handsome?

"Damn it! I've never seen such a brazen person!"

Both of them laughed.

"Looking at the circle of friends you posted, it's so enviable to see the snow leopard mother and child playing in the wild!"

While chatting, under the leadership of Director Qi, we visited the zoo.

In fact, the environment of Nishino is not bad, but each building can really see a smell of poverty.

Hozen's cage is only about the size of a bedroom, and the ground is also masonry.

When Fang Ye and the others came over, a few hozens were jumping up and down inside, chasing playfully.

Headmaster Qi squatted down, smiled and greeted the rabbit inside through the glass: "Hun Simiao? Little sister hozen? Here is a guest, come and say hello."

The hozen inside didn't pay him any attention at all, and didn't even turn his head!

It's time to make trouble, play it.

The hozen has a very interesting behavior, the end of its tail swaying with a small high frequency.

Tails have ideas of their own!

The blue carp looked at the hozen wiggling its tail, and his eyes were daring: "So cute!"

Although poor, enrichment is very interesting.

There are tree perches, leaning diagonally on the back wall, and the hozen can enter the house from the ground, or climb up the tree trunk and enter through the window above.

There were also several spherical toys of different sizes on the ground, all of which looked like children's toy balls, just the right size for the hozen.

Fang Ye noticed at a glance a rubber hose on the ground, the kind that was attached to a family range hood, a pipe was placed there, and the diameter was about the same as the waist of the rabbit!

It should be fun to think about the way the hozen usually runs in the pipe.

He asked curiously, "Does hozen usually like to use this pipe?"

Qi Yuan said: "I can play, but I don't play very often!"

Pointing to the woven grass nest that looks like a bowl on the side platform, he smiled and said, "This is donated to us by tourists recently. Our hozen especially likes to stay in this place, huddled in a ball, showing our eyes and looking out. , it was fun."

Well, even the cat litter is donated.

Fang Ye is both sympathetic and admirable!

Nishino is poor, but he really cares about raising animals.

Like this perch tree trunk, this rubber hose, and a few toy balls, how much money can they add up?

But put these things in, the hozen can live a lot happier.

Many zoos carry out various charging activities such as feeding and petting cubs, but they do not think about getting some income and improving the living environment for the animals.

What the zoo was like ten years ago, and what it will be like ten years later, it's just that the animals inside have changed.

Poverty is not the reason, the most important thing is the concept and attitude of the zoo.

In the end, should the zoo be used as a tool for making money, a supporting institution in the city, a pure entertainment place, or should it shoulder the sacred responsibility of inheriting the fire and raising public awareness of environmental protection?
