At school I realized that the local masked lapwings were having their eggs (that they had spent time choosing a place and making a nest for) were being taken by the gardeners. The gardeners said they 'relocated them' when I asked about it. In other words they took and killed them, for you can never relocate an egg once a human scent has touched it. So I went from teacher to teacher to find someone that would help, and eventually went to the head of senior school. I asked him to please stop it, and even showed him the laws against moving them. He listened intently, and once I left, I had no idea my word would be taken seriously. The holidays came and went, and we all came back to school. There, in the corner of a small garden, was a nest and a plover. Protecting it was a yellow barrier, making sure no students would go near. I pretty much leaped for joy.
Now there is a baby chick that runs around like a little cotton ball on legs. It has another sibling, and the mother still sits diligently on it, making sure that it will hatch. Now the chick has 6-8 weeks until it can fly. Hope it does well!
So if you ever notice anything at school, from gardeners using insecticide or students chucking rocks at birds, or even something as serious as student removing nests from trees for the sake of it, report it, and try to create a new school rule that has something to do around animals.. for it will help!
and in my first year of highschool i rescued 2 noisy miners who somehow managed to get tangeled upsidedown in a tree in some cotton? anyway, it took ages for the groundskeeper to get a ladder but i managed to set them free, although one had heaps of cotton on his leg still. And then last year i rescued a baby piegon but he passed away while in care. I'm lucky i have by fauna rescue badge i can show the teachers though, otherwise i wouldn't of been able to do it!
