阿德莱德动物园被攻击的火烈鸟仍然不能进食

周三被其他火烈鸟攻击的75岁的老火烈鸟依旧拒绝进食,阿德莱德动物园的职员非常担心,4只年轻的火烈鸟因为这次攻击事件被暂时控制起来了。

老火烈鸟也被安置在一个安全的地方,志愿者近距离的观察着,动物园考虑给老火烈鸟一个更好的安全保障。

动物园首席执行官克里斯·韦斯特说,老火烈鸟恢复的很快,但是还不能很好的进食。它已经回到了水里,体重也只减轻了少许,它也可以上厕所了,看上去好多了,我们将让它恢复的更好知道能恢复进食。

Bashed flamingo not eating

The flamingo that was bashed at the Adelaide Zoo on Wednesday is refusing to eat, which is worrying zoo staff.

The flamingo, which is around 75 years old, was left in a critical condition after it was allegedly attacked by four teenagers, who have all been charged.

Volunteers are keeping watch at the flamingo enclosure, and the zoo is considering putting in higher guard rails.

The zoo’s chief executive Chris West says the bird has made a strong recovery so far, but is not eating properly yet.

“He’s been back in the water, he’s not dropped much weight,” he said.

“He is going to the toilet, which is obviously good, but we’re not going to be entirely comfortable until he starts to eat again.”
