#SEED RESCUE BIRDS PROFESSIONAL#

To our knowledge, this is the first recorded case of rescue behaviour in birds. Intriguingly, the rescuing individuals engaged in this behaviour despite potentially risking entanglement. In four cases, individuals were observed displaying behaviour aimed at removing sticky seeds from the feathers of an entangled individual belonging to their group. In fact, most birds select dietary items by mimicking other birds. If you see a pigeon that is pecking at seed but missing it. Just one or a few of these sticky seeds can prevent Seychelles warblers to fly and may lead to mortality. Wrong Birds are not renowned for their nutritional wisdom. Birds come to us from throughout New Zealand and with your generous support, we give them a second chance at life. In 2021, we rebranded to BirdCare Aotearoa.

Bird Rescue is a member of the Oiled Wildlife Care Network (OWCN) administered by UC Davis. Established in 2009 as the New Zealand Bird Rescue Charitable Trust (NZBRCT), we have evolved from a cottage rescue centre to a professional wildlife hospital and rehabilitation centre. In this species, individuals sometimes become entangled in seed clusters of ‘bird-catcher trees’ ( Pisonia grandis). International Bird Rescue (Bird Rescue) cares for sick, injured, abused, and orphaned aquatic birds at two year-round wildlife care centers in California one in Los Angeles, the other in the San Francisco Bay Area. Here, we report observations of rescue behaviour in the cooperatively breeding Seychelles warbler ( Acrocephalus sechellensis). Although rescue behaviour has been well-documented in experimental studies on rats and ants, published cases in other non-human animals are rare. Rescue behaviour is a special form of cooperation in which a rescuer exhibits behaviours directed towards averting a threat to an endangered individual, thereby potentially putting itself at risk.
