April refers to the beginning of the high season of immigrant birds in our cities. Top, return flights and swallowing Africa To nurture, Mirlo -like species – one of the very beginnings – even in the midst of rainfall and irregular temperatures, the president of the association, Luna Dell Puardo, explains You are overwhelmed And graduated from environmental science.
But with the first flights, the first fears are coming, and it is easy to find chicks on the ground and we don’t know if we should intervene. Are they lost? Wait to be injured? Or do you simply learn to fly? In these cases, Acting can make a difference Between life and death.
First Steps: Notice Before Acting
First, in front of a chick on the ground, quietly and notice, because not all the chicks on the ground have to be recovered. According to SOS spokesman, “It is a good way to take a photo and ask for help from special associations like us Social networks. Apps like Google Lens to identify the bird”.
Once the species is identified, it is important to evaluate whether the animal is safe is safe: if there is a risk of transportation, loose dogs or stomating, it is better to act quickly, but always consult with experts.
Is it injured or weak? So yes, you have to intervene
If the chick has injuries, if there is bleeding, it is inactive or weak, there is no doubt: you need immediate help. “If you have signs that the chicken is not in good health, you can take it carefully and put it inside a box, and we can ask for it in any close estate,” says Luna Dell Puardo.
Once safely, It should call it 112. According to the autonomous society and questionable creatures, a protocol is implemented or not. He explains, “In some communities, 112 calls for a protected race, a protocol is implemented and will collect Ave at the home of the environmental agents or contract collection service.
If the administration does not give a solutionSpecial associations such as SOS Constigos can offer advice or take the bird if possible.
Recovery or not? Every race is a world
Knowing that a chick should be collected or the species is not completely dependent. He makes clear that “it is not to find a Mirlo Volindam in the shrubs of a park. Every species has different biology, so it is necessary to identify it.”
For example, BlackBirds passes a landscape phase: although they have not yet flown, their parents continue to feed them when they are exploring the environment and learning about food and dangers. In these cases, gathering them in advance can compromise their learning and survival.
On the contrary, “other creatures, such as winning, are fully formed in the nest and are fully dependent on their parents until they fly. If a speech falls to the ground, it does not receive food or careSo you should always be collected. ”
How to act (and never do)
If we find that the bird should be collected, there are basic rules for its manipulation:
- The cardboard box, never cage, can damage the bars.
- A suction paper background to keep the bird clean.
- If the thermal source has no smells: “A sock box filled with hot rice or a bottle of hot water can be placed.
Above all: Don’t throw them in the air. Never.
The expert warns us, “It is very common to find a pulse on the ground. People are trying to help you throw it in the air. However, this causes the animal to fall back, and this time with more power, it can cause irreversible internal injuries or even death.”
Another basic warning: There is nothing to feed them or give them water to their own. “Giving him a mistake to drink aspirations will cause pneumonia and as a result of death.” Besides, Each species has a specific food And inadequate food is dangerous. Luna Dell Puerto begins another important message: “Of course, it is important to remember that birds do not drink milk.”
Temporary Observation: Small communication and high respect
If we are to take care of the bird temporarily, there are two negative gold rules: Time maintenance and zero humanization.
“Interaction with the animal must be very low. Only limited to its diet and cleaning its room. In this way, we will prevent the seal of the seal May be re -introduced In its natural environment, exactly, ”Luna explains.
Beyond the Recovery: Block from the city
Avoiding these circumstances goes through a better urban peer. The loss of nesting areas, especially after the reforms of buildings without supervision, forcing many birds to build nest in inappropriate areas, which increases the risk of fall. “Lack of enough sites leads to birds Nest This increases the risk of chicks accidentally or volunteering due to the high heat of the nest, ”he says.
But beyond the dedication of citizens, the safety of the nests of these species is supported Law of Natural Tradition and Biodiversity 42/2007It establishes: “The killing, damaging, disturbing, disturbing, harassing, harassing, harassing or disturbing is prohibited, used by the method or their biological cycle. This barrier includes its retention and capture, destroying their nests, damaging, collecting and retaining, their young or their eggs, even empty.”
This means that a nest withdrawn or destroying, beyond, swallowing, aircraft or any other protected birds is a severe violation of national and European language. The owners or tenants are not recognized by the removal of these nests, the economic obstacles to do so may come to the limit 5,001 to 200,000 eurosDepending on the intensity of the case and the applicable regional rules.
Therefore, the safety of the traditional nest phases and the establishment of nest boxes are the most effective acts of the conquest of urban birds and protecting other species.
