No. N49 Wounded Black Piper is very active. When it was released in the wild, it got out of the cardboard box and did not fly away immediately. It was still staying in the wetland. It seemed to be on a "show" to thank the rescuers. It flew away after walking back and forth. Wetlands, everyone wishes N49 all the best, health and safety.

This is the second black-faced spoonbill released in the Xuejia Wetland, including Qiu Renwu, chairman of the Nanshi Ecological Conservation Society, Steffen Halkjaer from the Endemic Biological Research and Conservation Center, Copenhagen, Denmark, who loves ecological photography, Huang Shuting, president of the Bird Shooting Club, Chengxi Chairman of the Community Development Association Chen Guozhong and bird friends Guo Donghui and Li Jinyu were present to witness and wish.

As the weather turns cooler, in order to avoid the death of black-faced spoonbills infected with botulism, Mayor Huang Weizhe appealed to the public to find that individual black-faced spoonbills are weak in mobility, unable to fly or even squatting on the ground, with slightly open mouths and soft necks. , drooping wings, etc., immediately notify the Nanshi Agriculture Bureau, or immediately go to the beach for rescue and send it to the Mercy Animal Hospital for treatment. This shortens the rescue and treatment time, and the survival rate of the black-faced spoonbill is relatively increased. Let us work together to protect the black-faced spoonbill.
