Belize Bird Rescue: Stork Storkers Club

Belize Bird Rescue: Stork Storkers Club | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Feelgood story to start the day.  The Belize Bird Rescue successfully captured and relocated the Jabiru stork that was on the runway at the Philip Goldson airport, causing problems for landing planes.  It was a concentrated effort, and was met with success.  Great work!

 

"Cue the Belize Wildlife Conservation Network (BWCN) response team (pause for ooo’s and aaah’s) We are ready to spring into action at a moments notice, just like Spiderman. So, armed with nets, gloves, cages, crates and blankets, plus numerous representatives from Belize Forest Department, Belize Wildlife & Referral Clinic, ISIS, Belize Humane Society and Belize Audubon Society, we launched ourselves at Belize City."

The Belize Wildlife Conservation Network is finally getting their medical equipment out of customs.  They can now Xray all the animals that are injured to get a better idea of what is wrong.  This will be the only Xray machine for wildlife in Belize.  

 

Unfortunately, they are being required to pay GST on the expensive equiptment, and are in need of more funds.  If you would like to help them out, they have a sponsorship plan.  In fact, they have 4 levels: Parrot, Ocelot, Tapir, and Crocodile.

Great news: "So this video is of Spartacus - yes, the monkey that so nearly lost his hand. As you can see, it has healed well, with little effect on his climbing abilities..."
