00:00Where are you going, Weed?
00:10Many kinds of birds are flying away.
00:23They are a group of birds that came out to save the day.
00:26But because of the bad weather,
00:31predators such as hawks can attack.
00:38This is what happened to a hawk.
00:41Now, it can no longer fly.
00:46It's wings are broken and weak.
00:57When I visited the rescue center in Sarangani,
01:02we were able to find different kinds of animals that are being rehabilitated.
01:07The animals that are being treated in the area,
01:10will be rehabilitated for a long time.
01:13Such as the immature verminikite and crested goshawk.
01:18This one has been with us for a long time.
01:20The problem with this one is that it has been on the ground for two months.
01:25But you don't know what's wrong with it?
01:28We tried to release it before,
01:31but the first problem is that it eats poorly and is weak.
01:35When we tried to release it, it didn't want to fly.
01:38So we saw that it has a problem with its wings.
01:41From here, we can see that its left wing is in a good position,
01:49but the right wing is dropped.
01:51So most likely, there's a fracture there.
01:55The immature verminikite is a bit weak when I first saw it.
02:00It was very weak yesterday when it was brought to us.
02:03It was caught in the river.
02:05According to the people who saw it in the bay,
02:07it was chased by a ghost.
02:09In the Himpapawid,
02:12you can see a bay that has a small branch.
02:17It is looking for a place where it can lay its eggs for its family.
02:25A few moments later,
02:28it found a spot.
02:31Hopefully, the problem is that someone is watching and fighting.
02:38Predators that are hungry.
02:41In order not to eat,
02:44they immediately left.
02:52But not all of them are lucky.
02:56In a rescue center in Sarangani,
03:00we need to treat two birds.
03:04One of them has a broken leg.
03:08Let's do an X-ray.
03:10Because it has a wound.
03:19Through the X-ray,
03:21we can see the damage to their body.
03:26It has a fracture.
03:28There is a callus formation.
03:31It is healing because the bone is small.
03:34In time, this will heal.
03:36But it's not going to be the same again.
03:42We'll just give some antibiotics,
03:45oral meds, and pain meds.
03:47It's thin.
03:50The bone is bent, that's why it fell.
03:53That's why it's weak.
03:55It's also heavy.
03:56Let's give it some antibiotics.
04:00While I was putting a bandage on the bird,
04:03suddenly,
04:08there it is.
04:10So, what we're doing with the bandage,
04:13we are immobilizing the bone.
04:16The bone that is fractured and immobilized will heal.
04:20That's what we want.
04:21That's why we put plates,
04:22we put casts,
04:23so that it's immobilized.
04:25We encourage healing.
04:29You will replace this bandage after 5 days.
04:36The same way we are applying them now.
04:40So, we'll buy this.
04:43The Crested Goshawk bird has arthritis,
04:45that's why it's hard to fly.
04:47Gout.
04:48Gouty arthritis.
04:50Most likely, it's because of the diet that we're giving.
04:52Compare it to the right,
04:53this is its left, right?
04:55This is that joint,
04:57and this is this joint.
04:59You see the difference?
05:01That's why it can't move.
05:03There's also a wound that was seen on the bird's beak.
05:07It was just turned over.
05:09You didn't see this wound?
05:11The last time it was turned over,
05:12there was a bullet,
05:14a gun or what,
05:16until it healed.
05:18So, maybe this is the right one?
05:19Most likely.
05:20It's a bit wrinkled.
05:23It needs treatment.
05:25We're looking for antibiotics and pain meds.
05:34A few days after the bird was treated,
05:37the Crested Goshawk also became extinct.
05:42But the good news is,
05:44the immature Braminikite or Lawin is back in the wild.
05:51IMPORTANCE OF BIRDS IN THE WILD
05:56Birds are important in the wild.
06:01They feed on other species of animals
06:05to ensure the balance in the environment.
06:08As veterinarians,
06:10we can't get tired of rescuing them.
06:14But I hope the day will come
06:16when there will be no more birds that need to be rescued.
06:20Because they should be free to live in the wild.
