SPCA网站上介绍如何帮助这些幼鸟, 希望能帮到以后遇到类似情况的朋友 0 N7 i2 b2 W! v# u; X; ` - }$ ~/ x! w5 a4 }* T3 Y8 ~4 bIn the late Spring and early Summer many baby birds, known as fledglings, may be separated from their nest and their mother. There is a simple procedure that can be adopted in rescuing these vulnerable little birds who have left their nests in their early attempts in learning to fly. U8 e# y* d3 |! n) R# S2 }! t/ G" N+ Q

1. Try to locate the nest and place the youngster back in. If the nest has fallen out of the tree, wedge it securely back in. , i. K' m q& A0 a3 Q' v/ n/ F0 D5 }( Y% F7 H7 E; X
2. Place the young bird on top of a thick hedge. This will be hard for cats to climb up onto and also gives a good platform from which to eventually take off. The youngster will call out for its parents and should be fed by them until it's time to take that first major flight, hopefully within a week or so. r# x0 e( x7 o& h

3. If no hedge is available, get an ice cream container or cardboard / plastic milk container - cut in half and discard the top part. Punch small holes in the bottom (for drainage) and holes in the side (small enough to feed string, thread or wire through) and hang it from either a tree branch or clothes line. (The clothes line is preferable, as cats have difficulty climbing up clothes lines.) Put bark shavings, leaves, etc. in the bottom of the container. Again, the bird should call out and be fed by the parents until it gets its full flying wings and is ready to leave. Ensure that there is as little human handling of the fledgling as possible and it is always better for the young to be raised by their natural parents rather than by a human carer. Whatever action you take remember to keep a watchful eye open from a distance in the hope that the mother or father will return to be reunited with their young.作者: Mikobebe 时间: 2010-12-29 19:01:42
