Nandu News Reporter Sun Yayisi, Birds as the elves of the sky, the guardians of the forest, are an important part of the natural environment, and loving birds is beneficial to maintaining ecological balance. Reporters from the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Planning and Natural Resources learned that from March 20th to 26th every year is Guangdong's Bird Watching Week, and this year's theme is 'Protect Wild Birds, Maintain Ecological Balance'.
More than 100,000 migratory birds migrate to Shenzhen every year.
'Bird Watching Week' originated in 1981, originally established to protect migratory birds between China and Japan. In 1992, the State Council approved the 'Regulations on the Protection of Wild Animals' , which formally determined 'Bird Watching Week' in law. The Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Planning and Natural Resources said that Shenzhen has various natural environments suitable for birds to inhabit and survive, and is also an important channel for migratory birds to migrate, and during the migratory season, the birds arriving in Shenzhen can reach more than 100,000.
Compared to other wild animals, birds are more common 'animal friends' to people. The Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Planning and Natural Resources reminds citizens that in our interactions with them, we should pay attention to the small details in life, such as not leaving garbage and food debris in our company, and not feeding them indiscriminately. Learning the correct way to interact with birds, let love birds and protect birds become a habit.
What can citizens do in daily life to protect birds?
1, Please do not feed birds indiscriminately.
Many citizens see wild birds and like to feed them human food, either for fun or out of kindness to help them solve the food problem, but indiscriminate feeding of birds will lead to many problems.
Human food may not be healthy for birds, and birds have their own suitable diet. If they eat the wrong food, they may become malnourished or die. Feeding will change the animals' feeding habits, making birds dependent, and they will not be able to survive if they leave humans. Close-range feeding and contact with birds may also increase the risk of disease transmission between humans and animals. Therefore, to protect the health of humans and birds, please do not feed wild animals indiscriminately, and respect their way of life.
2, Please do not pick up newborn birds on the roadside.
If you encounter a newborn bird on the roadside, do not pick it up randomly. First observe whether the parents are around. If they are around, don't interfere, they know best how to care for their babies. If you don't find the parents nearby and the baby bird is injured or unable to fly, please contact the wild animal protection agency (rescue phone: 23737770) immediately. If the baby bird is in good condition, you can safely put it back in the nest with protective gloves.
3, What should you do if you find someone illegally using nets to catch birds or shoot them?
When citizens are climbing, hiking, or in daily life, if they find someone using nets to catch birds or shooting birds, they should first ensure their safety and then promptly call 110 for help or report to 83299110.
