Informant: There's a sound coming from this side of the wall
Ah, from this side?
A sound is coming from
the wall of a university building?
There's a hole behind the calendar!
Woof, something might jump out
Brrrr
BOING
There's nothing in it?!
A wide-open hole..
Just in case,
Decided to put a tiny endoscopy cameras
Thought there was nothing in it, yet
"Whatcha lookin' at"
Lil guys living inside the hole
What's yo name?
Expert : Hoopoe, they're called
Hoopoe
A rare summer bird
The Indian chief-like crest is their charm!
Expert : Have never caught hoopoe for about 60 years,
Especially not in the middle of a uni building
At that moment,
A bird flew in!
Mama hoopoe, looking exactly
the same as those lil guys :)
Flew towards the hole,
Mama hoopoe's feeding her children
Imma eat like a horse~
Takes a month for hoopoes
to be able to leave their nest
after hatching from the eggs
Expert : Hoopoe's motherhood is comparatively strong
They feed baby birds more than 200 times a day
Fluttering her wings painfully, near the hole
She's feeding her kids
Hoopoes are globally known for strong motherhood
Thanks to that, baby hoopoes are
growing bigger day by day
(Feeding on mama's love♥)
A few days later,
We came back for hoopoe family
Feels unusually quiet..
Among the baby hoopoes,
there's one who breathed one's last
What's happened..
Watching over the observation cam
Guys, let's ea..
Mama hoopoe got stuck in vines
Due to the overly grown vines,
the hole almost got blocked
Despite her will to deliver food,
because of the vines, blocking
mama hoopoe wasn't able to get any closer
Help meh!
After a long discussion with the expert
First, we decided to save those lives
With the help from uni students
Snip
Relieved~
As if she's been waiting
Mama hoopoe's busy carrying the food
Mama hoopoe's gonna be
Busier for some time!
We're gonna grow big too!
Informant : Even when they grow up safely and move to somewhere else,
if they still think of us and have some time next year,
hope they'll visit us once again
See ya in the next summer~
