the Since the beginning of summer Muscovite Alena Rodionova began to live 70 birds. The woman works as a driver and in his spare time cares for injured birds. “Evening Moscow” talked with her and learned how she became zoovolution.
This modern story of doctor Dolittle began six years ago. 37-year-old Alena Rodionova was driving in the car, suddenly in front of him on the roadway saw a tiny tossing the ball. Was swift with a broken wing. The woman felt so sorry for the poor man that she took it home and found out on the Internet how to care for a bird. Later wrote about it in social networks.
— after two weeks, people who read my posts, said that he had picked up the wounded tit. Then I “came” swallow… I slowly acquired familiarity with the ornithologists and people who help the birds, and learned to care for different birds, — said the woman “VM”. — Now we have tit, swallows, sparrows, pigeons. Only about 70 birds.
All this large family lives in a Studio apartment, but admits Alena Rodionova, the neighbors do not complain. Many of her peers and know the woman since childhood. She had already shown interest in animals and had kept cats, dogs, hamsters and birds nedica. Now almost every day calling her friends and asking what to do with fallen from the nest or just the affected birds.
I’ll know the details of what happened and then suggest what to do next: to leave the place, to bring to me or to apply to specialized centers for the care of birds. And as they pick up, explained Alena. For example, two months ago was so strong wind that one dove crashed into a house. Took him to the doctor-ornithologist — turned out to be traumatic brain injury, greatly swelling the eye. The bird managed to save, but the vision is partially lost.
On average, birds live Alena until complete recovery about three weeks. Further, if it’s dove or the swift, which do not require adaptation, volunteer issues in the field. But the rest need time to get used to flying in nature. Alain sends them to the Center of rehabilitation of wild birds. There are experts put the birds in an outdoor aviary, feed, and those are gradually getting used to the wild and fly away forever.
the WAY
Do not touch fallen out of the nest, if he is not in danger and no visual damage. It may be sledai, that is a bird that has recently left the nest but not yet able to fly and to find food. These are close to the nest, moving around the earth, and learn to fly. And the parents at this time continue to bring them food.
