[Animal News]Many animal volunteers are not afraid of danger and try their best to rescue animals. An eclectic parrot in Tuen Mun, “Huo Huo”, flew away in the park yesterday because its owner accidentally loosened its leg rope. When it flew to a tree, it got trapped because the leg rope was wrapped around a branch. The artist Guo Xiuyun who founded “Hong Kong Parrot Rescue” received a call for help, and drove from Hong Kong Island to the scene in Tuen Mun, and stepped on the lion dance ladder to save the fire on the tall tree. During the rescue process, several citizens also helped to hold up the pile ladder and contributed to the rescue of the bird. Guo Xiuyun said that she is currently the main force of “Hong Kong Parrot Rescue” to carry out rescue operations. However, it is not easy to save birds. I hope more people are willing to help as volunteers.

“Huo Huo” is a two-year-old parrot. When the owner, Ms. Chen, took her to the park to play yesterday, she accidentally let go of her foot leash. As a result, Huo Huo was frightened and flew to a tall tree, with the foot leash entangled in the branches. She originally planned to borrow a ladder from the management office of a nearby housing estate to rescue the bird, but she was worried that Huo Huo would be injured when her foot rope got entangled with tree branches when she was frightened and struggling, so she contacted Guo Xiuyun for help.

Ms. Chen said that following Guo Xiuyun learned regarding it, she drove to the scene from Hong Kong Island and contacted two friends to observe the situation. When Guo Xiuyun came, he took the lion dance ladder, stepped on it without any protective measures, untied the foot rope wrapped around the branches, and Huo Huo flew to Guo Xiuyun’s arm and held it tightly. Landed safely.

Guo Xiuyun said that the stake was used by the Baihe School for lion dance, and it was only half the height yesterday, and said with a smile that he didn’t think the tree was very tall yesterday. She also admitted that it is not easy to save a bird, and most of the lost parrots cannot be found, so prevention is better than cure. She hopes that the owner can take safety measures to prevent the bird from getting lost.

She said: “Honestly speaking, rescuing a bird is dangerous. I tried to go to the hospital for an injection following I fell down. The time, fuel costs, and tunnel fees were nothing. I went to the rescue because I felt that the parrot was very pitiful. It should be a long-lived animal. , but many owners don’t know how to cherish it, and treat it as a toy. Of course, the owner is very sad when it is lost in many cases, but everyone should be aware of this possibility and take precautions.” Guo Xiuyun rescued the toy in Cheung Sha Wan in November last year. An African gray parrot was injured when it fell into a ditch and needed stitches in the hospital.

Guo Xiuyun hoped that more people would be willing to serve as volunteers to help save birds, and revealed that many lost parrots would fly into the school, because the school has many windows and empty corridors, so she often goes to the school to give lectures, and educates the teachers on how to save birds. Parrot. Those who are interested in joining “Hong Kong Parrot Rescue” as volunteers can go through its Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/HKParrotRescue) to contact Guo Xiuyun.

The owner of Huo Huo, Ms. Chen, is very grateful to Guo Xiuyun for helping to save the bird. She said that Huo Huo is a parrot that is very clingy to her. As long as she is out of sight, she will keep calling “Grandma” and fly around to find her. After this incident, she will hold on to Huo Huo’s ankle more carefully.
