英语试题 02-16
The morning after a storm, you wake up, open the window, and find a dead bird lying outside. On closer inspection, the bird is still breathing and moving slightly. Unless you have experience, you likely won’t be able to cure an injured bird. But that doesn’t mean you can’t rescue (援救) it.
For a smaller bird, all you need to do is grasp it gently around the body, put it in a soft paper bag, and place it where it won’t get stepped on or attacked by a pet. Don t use a box because if the bird tries to flap (拍打) its wings against the hard sides, it might hurt itself. Then give it some time to recover in the dark, where it’s not too stressed out about what’s happening around it. Every species has a different diet, so don’t try to feed it seeds or worse, bread.
If you start to hear some movement in the bag, that means the bird is in shock and is now ready to go. Take it to a tree-filled area, away from traffic if possible, and tip the bag over on the ground to let the animal fly out. If it doesn’t exit willingly or has trouble using its wings, it might have a more serious injury. In that case, look for a wildlife rehabilitator in the area or contact your local animal control agency.
For a larger bird like a hawk or woodpecker that might try to sink a beak or talon (喙或爪子) into your skin, call in an expert right away. If they can’t get to you quickly, calm the bird down by dropping a towel over its head: It should stop struggling once its sight is covered. You can then hold it by the body (again, avoid picking it up by the wings or legs) and move it into a box or pet carrier. Pile the towel up against the sides to keep the bird from flapping itself against cardboard or plastic.
12. What should you do when finding an injured small bird?
