ଓଭରୱେଟ ଯୋଗୁ ଉଡ଼ିପାରୁ ନ ଥିଲା ପେଚା, ଦୁଇ ସପ୍ତାହ Dietରେ ରଖାଗଲା

ଓଭରୱେଟ ଏକ ସାଧାରଣ ସମସ୍ୟା। କିନ୍ତୁ ଆପଣ କେବେ ଭାବିଛନ୍ତି, ପେଚାକୁ ବି ହୋଇପାରେ ଓଭରୱେଟ ସମସ୍ୟା? ହଁ, ପେଚାଟି ଏତେ ମୋଟା ହୋଇଯାଇଥିଲା ଯେ ଡେଣା ମେଲାଇ ଉଡ଼ିପାରୁ ନ ଥିଲା।

Suffolk Owl Sanctuary ନିଜ ଇନ୍‌ଷ୍ଟା ପେଜ୍‌ରେ ଏହି ପେଚାର ଫଟୋକୁ ଶେୟାର କରିଥିଲା। ଏହା ତରଫରୁ କୁହାଯାଇଥିଲା ଯେ ଏହି ଫିମେଲ ପେଚା ଦୁନିଆର ତୃତୀୟ ସବୁଠାରୁ ଭାରି ପେଚା ଶ୍ରେଣୀରେ ଆସୁଛି। ଏହାର ନାଁ ‘Plump’ ରଖାଯାଇଛି।

This soggy little owl was found in a ditch. Usually in these instances we assume injury that is preventing the owl from flying – occasionally becoming wet causes them to become grounded too – so you can imagine our surprise that when we examined her, we found her to simply be extremely obese! Upon weighing her, she was a rather chunky 245g (which is roughly a third heaver than a large healthy female little owl) and she was unable to fly effectively due to the fatty deposits. This is unusual for wild birds to get into this condition, so we needed to investigate some obvious scenarios – the first being that she was possibly an escaped aviary bird. Sadly there was no indication of rings or chip identification. We decided to observe the bird over a period of weeks for signs of a life in captivity. Familiarity with foods used in aviaries such as bright yellow chicks (which won’t often be found naturally in the English countryside) are a telltale sign. Luckily, there were no giveaway signs as she was readily taking more wild food types such as dark mice, so we are confident this may just be an unusual case of natural obesity! We also found that the area where she was rescued was crawling with field mice and voles due to the warm and wet winter we experienced in December. She has since spent a few weeks with us under observation and been placed on a strict diet. We can now happily say she has trimmed down to a more natural weight for release. . . . . . #suffolkowlsanctuary #owlsanctuary #animalsanctuary #suffolkwildlife #owl #buzzard #eagle #hawk #kestrel #meerkat #redsquirrel #conservation #wildlifeconservation #wildliferescue #animalrescue #birdsofprey #animalrehabilitation #suffolk #falconry

ପେଚାକୁ ୨ ସପ୍ତାହ ଡାଇଟ୍‌ରେ ରଖାଗଲା

Suffolk Owl Sanctuaryର କହିବା ହେଲା, ପେଚାର ଓଜନ ଲଗାତାର ଭାବେ ବଢ଼ିଚାଲିଥିଲା। ଏହାକୁ ନଜରରେ ରଖି ଦୁଇ ସପ୍ତାହ ପଯ୍ୟର୍ନ୍ତ ତାକୁ ଡାଏଟରେ ରଖାଯାଇଥିଲା, ଯେପରି ସେ ପୁଣିଥରେ ଉଡ଼ିପାରିବ।

ଏହାପରେ ପେଚାକୁ ଉଡ଼ାଯାଇଥିଲା। Suffolk Owl Sanctuary ସହ ଜଡ଼ିତ Rufus Samkin ନାମକ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି କହିଥିଲେ ଯେ ଏହା ପ୍ରଥମ ଘଟଣା। ସାଧାରଣତଃ ପେଚାର ଡେଣା କୌଣସି କାରଣରୁ ଓଦା ହୋଇଗଲେ କିମ୍ବା ତା’ର ଓଜନ ବଢ଼ିଗଲେ ସେ ଉଡ଼ିପାରି ନ ଥାଏ। ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ‘Plump’କୁ ଜଙ୍ଗଲରେ ଛାଡ଼ି ଦିଆଯାଇଛି। ସେ ନିଜର ଯାତ୍ରା ଆରମ୍ଭ କରିଦେଇଛି।
