Anecdotes of birds>Wild Bird Society of Secretary-General of Taipei

Wild Bird Society of Secretary-General of Taipei Origin        The Wild Bird Society of Taipei is an organization that cares about the natural environment and the conservation of birds. It has contributed a lot to environmental education for bird records and bird watching activities. Interview 1.Would you like to introduce why you joined the Wild Bird Society of Taipei? What is your main job?        My first job is to work at the Guandu Nature Park Management Office of the Wild Bird Society of Taipei. The Secretary General of the Wild Bird Society of Taipei is the full-time executive director of the Wild Bird Society of Taipei. We have a conservation director, an education director, and an official relation director. The Wild Bird Society of Taipei now has 3 places to operate, one is Guandu Nature Park, one is Zhishan Ecological Garden, another is Aogu Dongshi Exhibition Area and Ambulance Center, etc. My main job is to ensure so many units and organizations can work well. In addition, the Wild Bird Society of Taipei also works on research, conservation, education promotion, and public relations. 2.What is the reason for most of the birders started bird watching, and then joined the Wild Bird Society of Taipei?       The Wild Bird Society of Taipei has a famous saying, "Birds’ Today, Humans’ Tomorrow". In short, this sentence is to tell people that the predicament of bird life and environmental conditions is the predicament that humans may face in the future. We want to guide people to watch birds and let people view the nature in the eyes of birds? We hope that everyone will try to protect birds because they like birds. In the process, the birds will be taken care of, and the environment in Taiwan will be improved. Taiwan's environment is good for us Taiwanese.       At the beginning, when the birders saw our volunteers looking at the telescope, they would ask: “what are you looking at? What's so nice about sparrow?” Then they saw through the telescope and exclaim “How can there be such beautiful birds!” The reason why birders join the Wild Bird Society of Taipei is because they first saw their own bird of life, which means that the bird that he first appreciated in his life may be a kingfisher or a black-faced spoonbill, so many birders think that watching birds is a very pleasant thing over time, it is a great activity, and then they want to join us. 3.How does the Wild Bird Society of Taipei choose locations for these routine or station activities?       These activity routes are important bird spots in Taipei City, including Guandu Nature Park, Zhishan, Daan Forest Park, etc. There is a convenient transportation meeting point for people to watch birds, so the Wild Bird Society of Taipei set a meeting point of traffic convenience opposite Taipei Train Station 40 years ago. We called it a routine activity. From that meeting point, we started a guided tour and took everyone to watch these birds. In simple terms, the place is where we can see birds most easily in that season, at that time and at that place in Taipei City, and this place is the bird spot we choose. 4.The Wild Bird Society of Taipei implements the concept of conservation. How do you conduct the promotion education?        We have 3 important educational venues, which are Guandu Nature Park, Zhishan Ecological Garden and Aogu Wetland, which can be used for outdoor teaching for children, or professional instruction courses for teachers. We also open them to parent-child camps. The Wild Bird Society of Taipei Guild Hall will provide educational services to the schools, such as station commentary, routine activities, and community universities. Every year, about 200,000 tourists visit the wild birds through the system of the Wild Bird Society of Taipei to watch wild bird and understand nature. Everyone can see this no matter natural related concepts are put into the curriculum through school or the non-school education system. Filmed by  Bird Conservator 5.What is the purpose of Injured Bird Rescue Center?        The Wild Bird Society of Taipei encountered an injured bird falling from its nest in the process of bird conservation. At that time, volunteers began to take care of the birds. After that, the scale gradually increased, and Injured Bird Rescue Center was decided to be set up. During the brooding season, it may not be necessary to send it to the rescue center when you encounters young birds or juvenile birds, you should observe it in situ to see if the female bird can take it away. As long as someone stays at the scene, don't let the cats and dogs approach it, and the female bird will come and take it away, this is the better way. That is, don't pick up the young birds randomly.       There is a bird called the nightingale. It lies very well on the ground in its hidden color, and some people pick it up and send it to us. It turns out that this is a nightingale that does not need treatment. It just sleeps there. You pick it up for no reason is kind of abruptness. 6.What is the current promotion work of Taipei wild bird rescue work?        The most important thing is the treatment of injured birds, campus promotion work and public advocacy. The treatment of injured birds is roughly divided into rescue, education and containment. We have a wild bird containment center in Zhishan Ecological Garden. We will carry out long-term containment of the birds if they are completely unable to live in the wild. We call people conducting the long-term containment as Ambulance Ambassadors, and Ambulance Ambassadors can go to campus to do promotion work.       When the general public encounters an injured bird, it must be placed in a suitable position, so it must be covered with a cardboard box and a cloth so that it feels less afraid. It can also be sent to the emergency line for treatment. Young birds learn flying or falling from its nest is not necessarily needs to be picked up, they should be placed in place or in a safe place, the female bird will naturally take it away. Finally, do not raise wild birds, because many wild birds have their\ own living behavior. Many of our injured birds now are abandoned birds of many people, and this behavior is actually not very good for the environment. 7.What is the current work of the Society?       Our organization includes Guandu Nature Park, Zhishan Ecological Garden and Aogu Dongshi Exhibition Area. Guandu is divided into 5 departments, the main job is to manage Guangdu well. Zhishan is divided into 3 departments, the main job is to manage Zhishan well. Aogu Dongshi Exhibition Area also has two departments to manage. The Wild Bird Society of Taipei is divided into administrative management department, conservation and ambulance department, and education work department. These three departments promote the appreciation, research, and conservation of the Wild Bird Society of Taipei. 8.What kind of bird conservation is best for our children?       We hope you find your favorite wild birds, and then have the opportunity to see all kinds of wild birds through the resources and systems of the Wild Bird Society of Taipei. For example, there are many birds near your school or park, and it's worth looking at. Conclusion      The huge environmental changes brought about by the global warming of the climate. If birds' living space is limited and gradually disappears, it also means that the environment for human life will be bad. At this time, all people should think about it.
