Police save helpless tower falcons from dangerous street!
Last weekend, police officers near Dinkelsbühl ensured a heartbreaking rescue operation. A small, disoriented tower falcon had strayed and hopped dangerously close to the lane of state road 2220, specifically between Dürrwangen and Langfurth. It was the highest railway to bring it to safety in front of the impending dangers, for example through cars or trucks. Fortunately, the officials managed to capture the little bird at around 3 p.m. and to take the impending danger on Wednesday, as [nn.de reports] (https://www.nn.de/region/ansbach/polizen-als-hilfe-hilfe-fur- Tower-Tower-Nahe-Dinkelsbuhl-.14726012).After the rescue, the tower falcon was immediately taken to the Wildbogel catching station in Middle Franconia. There, an expert from the bird of prey caught in Dürrwangen took over the care of the animal. Fortunately, the little feathered friend recovers and it looks like that he can soon be released into freedom.
help for wild animals
The rescue of the tower falcon is not only a sign of the rapid use of the police, but also an indication of the importance of support stations for wildlife. In Germany there are numerous such stations that take care of injured or helpless animals. Interested parties can find an overview of the various starting stations on the website of the Wildvogelhilfe.
According to the Federal Nature Conservation Act, it is allowed to adopt injured or sick animals in order to maintain them healthy again. However, one should always ensure that the corresponding regulations are observed, since the appropriation of a sick wild animal can be subject to hunting law. In such cases, the consent of the person entitled to hunting is necessary, as is explained [Wildlife Protection Germany] (https://www.wildtierschutz-deutschland.de/wehrtes-wildtier- Found). It is advisable to inform the next police station in such cases.
What to do in injured animals?
If you meet an apparently helpless animal in nature, you should wait in most cases. For example, young animals, such as fawn or young birds, are often only cared for by the mother and do not need to intervene. Touching can cause them to be rejected by their parents. In special cases, for example in squirrel cub animals on the ground, however, help may be necessary.
The rescue of the tower falcon once again shows how important the responsible handling of wild animals is. If everyone together prove a good knack in dealing with nature, this not only ensures the protection of animals, but also a harmonious coexistence in our environment.
