FOTOD JA VIDEO: Imearmas! Vaata, kuidas toidetakse pisikesi koolibri beebisid

Raptor Education Group jagas oma Facebooki lehel videot, kus asjatundja demonstreeris kahe väikese koolibri toitmist. Videos on linnukesed oma originaalpesas mõnusalt koos ning söövad tublisti. Klipp on filmitud mõned aastad tagasi, kuid alles hiljuti kirjutasid päästjad, et need kaks koolibrid kogusid end ja kasvasid tugevaks ning päästjad lasid nad loodusesse tagasi.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird Chicks /Raptor Education Group, Inc.

We are delighted to share a video featuring two of our tiniest patients. A nest, complete with tiny Ruby-throated Hummingbird chicks arrived yesterday after it came down in a storm. We were not able to replace it, but will continue to try when weather clears. Few people have the honor of witnessing baby hummingbirds as they are fed. Their parent are not doing the feeding, we think they are still pretty amazing. Hummingbirds eat aphids and other tiny insects as well as nectar. Protein is vital to hummingbirds all of their life, but especially so as babies when they are growing quickly. There is a small syringe at the other end of the feeding tube that is not visible on the video. Their formula is a complicated mixture of crushed and powdered insects and a homemade nectar base along with digestive enzymes, which they get from their parents naturally during feeding.Posted by Raptor Education Group, Inc. on Wednesday, July 24, 2013
