Chapter 165 (2/2)

The long eared owl with particularly obvious ear feather clusters. Some ornithologists have analyzed its food clusters and found that 97% of its food is rats.

During the breeding season, long eared owls catch a large number of mice and store them before their young hatch. Some people say that long eared owls are rat addicts because they kill rats when they see them, although sometimes they don't eat them after killing rats.

Compared with the owl, the cat's rat catching ability can be said to be out of reach!

However, with the deforestation of forests, the reduction of habitat, and the capture and killing of owls, their number is now very small.

After talking so much, I just hope to eliminate some prejudices and misunderstandings about owls. Owls are actually very lovely birds. If we don't protect them well, we may only see them in movies and novels in the future. ”

Netizens really didn't know much about owls before!

Either I have seen some videos of owls and think they are simple and lovely, or I have heard the strange cry of owls at night, or I have heard some ominous legends about them, so I have no good impression.

After listening to Fang Ye's explanation, they all renewed their understanding and gave birth to some respect for owls.

”I don't feel so tired of owls!”

”If you can catch mice, you should protect them!”

”Go to special love” rewarded 5 shrimp balls!

”Qianxue Ming Dynasty” rewarded a rice ball!

Fang Ye pondered for a moment: ”I saw someone say owl cafe, which is also popular in Japan, so sometimes it's hard to say how Japan treats animals.

Owl Cafe may be interesting for people, but it's not a good place for owls.

Basically, owls are nocturnal animals, and the night is a comfortable scene for them. However, if owl Cafe wants guests to visit, it is impossible to pull up the curtain and turn off the lights. Look at it in the dark? Bright and dazzling lights, music, noisy human conversation, and even touching are strong stimuli for owls.

Many times when you watch it being touched, you tighten your body and close your eyes. It looks like Mengmeng enjoys it. In fact, it is a manifestation of fear of stress.

Also, why do owls stand where they are and let people touch them? Because their feet are shackled and tied to them, they can't move. Even when you don't pick up guests, you're tied.

It's no different from standing and waiting for death.

It is not only mental injury, but also muscle atrophy and other problems. Different types of owls are intensively mixed together. This environment is easy to be infected with diseases. Some kittens may still be in the diet of big owls and stay with natural enemies every day. Is it a little chilly to replace them?

Of course, you can't live well in this environment. It is said that in a cafe with only 30 owls, 7 die a year. Some stand and fall straight from the wooden pole

The source of these owls is also a problem. The breeding conditions of owls are very harsh. They need a large range of territory in the wild to have the opportunity to breed. The cost of artificial breeding is very high. The popularity of this kind of owl Cafe actually gave birth to the market of poaching owls and exacerbated illegal poaching and trade.

Owl Cafe will not publicize the knowledge of protection education. Guests who have visited and smoked will only feel that owls are cute and want to buy one to keep by themselves, rather than protect owls and donate money to relevant institutions. This has been studied and investigated.

After the release of the films including Harry Potter in 2001, the number of pet owls in Indonesia has increased sharply, from 100 to 13000 a year, a full 130 times.

Owls are really cute, but they are raptors. They need vast territory, have sharp claws, cry horribly in the middle of the night, consume a lot of meat, and don't like others to touch. They need professional knowledge to take care of them. They are not suitable for private breeding.

Many people just want to buy fresh and fun. They may die after raising them, or after raising them for a period of time to understand these shortcomings, they hate them and don't want to raise them, and the sick owl is discarded at will.

Therefore, I would like to remind you that owls are second-class protected animals in China. It is illegal to raise them individually. Even in foreign countries, we are not recommended to raise them.

Owl is a creature with unique charm. Although it is cute, I hope you can like it in a suitable way. ”
