A juvenile male condor, was rescued by a team of veterinarians and technicians from the Agricultural and Livestock Service of the Aysen Region, as part of the active role that meets the SAG in protecting the country's natural resources, through control and ongoing monitoring to protect their potential.
The specimen was found and rescued by the staff of the SAG and the worker in the area, Eduardo Loncochino. At that time the bird had the wet feathers, presumably for having fallen into the creek in one of its first flights from one of the walls and cliffs of the sector.
Raglianti Ramon Henriquez, SAG's regional director said: The condor was seen in the first instance by the official in charge of the office SAG Board and then sent to Coyhaique, where he was checked by veterinarians in the same department, determining the transfer of the specimen to a center rehabilitation of raptors in Santiago, ending in the establishment of its development and to enable their subsequent release in the region.
Henriquez also thanked all those who participated in the rescue and called the inhabitants of the region to emulate this behavior, which certainly helps us in our task of ensuring the conservation of wildlife.
Such accidents are common, occurring when some juveniles make their first flights and weather are unfavorable to soar again and back where parents, so that the community support is essential, he said the regional director of SAG .
This also served to students at the School Ibar Eusebio La Junta, to observe this bird heraldry, and learn aspects of rescue, target and background on the biology of the Condor, in order to raise awareness about the care that must be have with these animals.
