Houbara bustards
Houbara is a bird that threatened to be extinct. But there is
a group that trying to prevent this from happening, there is a fund that been
setup in 2006 to supervise those groups. The responsible people of taking care
of Houbara are trying to reach a goal to release 15,000 birds per season. In
order to reach that goal they manage every stage of bird’s life. Birds that are
ready for breeding are trained to be ready with humans. When the females are inseminated,
they take about 4 days to lay eggs. When the chicks are 9 month old they
released in 2 groups each spring and autumn. 1 year later an average of 65 per
cent survives. That’s not the end, scientists observe the birds after they
released.
