Many care projects exist at our local nature reserve.
Nature conservation is a big priority here in the Western Cape and in here I will show you some birds that had a taxidermy treatment, as they are used in the bird protection programs.
There are strict rules to follow when one enters into the beautiful nature reserves over here and for us it is always a pleasure to follow all of the rules. They have lovely picnic sites for families, but no fires allowed due to the vast botanical areas right below the mountains.
But I am here to show you the birds.
An Eagle on show here today inside the center offices.
Here we have a Spotted Eagle-owl.
This guy has a vulture shape head, but there was no ID plates.
This one is called a Western Barn Owl.
I think that this one is a type of Kestrell.
This is a Spotted Thick-knee.
Finally, now imagine what would happen to this owl if the mouse was poisoned?
We also have a Predator Rehabilitation Center here that we visited and that I posted about in 2019, so maybe it is time for us to visit them again. We are nature lovers and glad to know that conservancy teaching projects are offered to the public and schools in the areas.
So even in death, these birds live on as subjects in the training classes.
At home we use no pesticides or poisons, as always thinking about the critters that might eat some poisoned being and it's best to use natural cures for problems. Even for the troublesome ants, as the Geckos eat them. So the reason for posting this is to humbly ask every reader to please take care of everything whenever they go into nature. Littering is a big problem here and a discarded candy wrapper can kill a little bird, or some other animal.
Should you ever visit our area in the Western Cape Province of South Africa, then please put this nature reserve on your list.

Wooooow!, @papilloncharity ,it's always a pleasure seeing your posts, and this is another amazing something, I've never seen some of these birds before, like the western barn owl. I will visit there someday and will definitely take care of everything whenever I go into nature, I wouldn't want these lovelies to be put to harm
Thank you and yes I am glad that they have so many animal caring projects going. Teaching children about the essence and priorities of the care that has to be taken of nature is always a good thing.
You are of course welcome to visit someday and I know that you will take care.
Blessings!

See the owl eating mouse.....! It's face is looking like an apple cut into half 😂.
And that western barn own is looking like an authoritative elder in the family.
How amazing is nature, giving us so many variety of colours and shapes in everything.
I never thought about how poisoning one animal may affect the other. It is quite thoughtful
The owl eating the mouse is also a Barn Owl and they have heart shaped faces 😊
Nature is indeed a wonderful story book, or should I say a wonderful healing book ?
Oh yes, pesticides are responsible for many wildlife deaths.
