After Two months of loving carethereal eagle Found wound two months ago in a garden of San Nazario di Valbrenta (Vicenza) has returned to fly. His flight to life and freedom It happened, among the emotion of those present, yesterday afternoon April 18, the Province of Vicenza.
The discovery of the eagle wounded and the care
He took care of her Alberto Faganexpert of birds of prey and manager of the Rapaci recovery center of Fimon (VI), who had received the eagle from the agents of the Provincial Police of Vicenza called to San Nazario from Renato Campanawho in turn had found the volatile wounded in the friend of the friend Luigi Campana.
Era debilitated – explains Fagan – he weighed only 3.6 kg and had a slight swelling on the elbow of the right wing, so much so that he hypothesizes a shock trauma. To take care of it at best, I consulted myself with Professor Mauro Delogu of the University of Bologna, specialized in veterinary medical sciences, which found an important anemia, due, according to prof. Delogu, in Saturnism, or poisoning from leader ingestionwhich may have accumulated over the years following the ingestion of game
To solve the problem, L’Aquila was treated with calcium -based products, and it was really hard because the first days was not even able to climb the supporter inside the aviary, so the veterinary doctors had made a support on the ground ad hoc with a wooden stone. Thanks to the treatments, it has reinforced and, after a couple of weeks, began to rise up to the.
The flight to life and freedom
Yesterday April 18 was declared healed, finally reached autonomy, and the time has come to make it return to freedom, exactly to Tortima localityBetween Marostics And Lusian-. “He is an adult male of about twenty years – explains Fagan – he can return free, but we must protect him in these first days in which he is more fragile. The Rubbio area is hunting territorywhere he will have no difficulty finding prey to feed on “
The rapacious had probably nested in the San Nazario area, but, in his absence, the nest may have been occupied by another specimen and this is a very dangerous situation: in fact, in this period of full reproductive activity, the new “occupant” could be very aggressive In the defense of what has become its territory, therefore freeing the eagle in that area would have it serious danger.
L’Aquila’s liberation is a moment of extraordinary suggestion – comments the president of the province Andrea Nardin – but it is only the final act of a path that requested great professionalism and knowledge: of the provincial police in the first place, to which the bird of prey was entrusted once recovered, and of Alberto Fagan and the Rapaci di Fimono recovery center, the center of excellence of our territory with which the province of Vicenza has been collaborating for decades in the management of wounded wildlife. A winning synergy
Go big eagle, regain your life.
