"Teacher Bai, can I borrow your phone for a moment?"
Tang Xiaoxin borrowed Teacher Bai's phone and logged onto her QQ.
Although she had a phone, she definitely couldn't bring it to school, for if it were discovered, it would surely be confiscated, and then she would have to call her parents.
At that moment, the biology teacher Old Li also came over, and Teacher Bai gestured frantically, "Old Li, what do you think we should do about this?"
By then, the owl was still glaring with its eyes, "tap tap" pecking with its beak, while one of its eyes kept blinking non-stop.
Old Li glanced at it and said, "Hey, this one's feathers are all puffed up—it's stressed."
Teacher Bai, not understanding, asked, "Stressed, what's that?"
"Stress is when animals find themselves in a state of panic or tension upon sensing danger. For instance, if you were locked in a cage with a very fierce tiger and accidentally stepped on its tail, wouldn't you be afraid?" Old Li gave a vivid example.
Teacher Bai imagined the scenario of sharing a cage with a tiger and subconsciously tensed up, "I see. So what should we do? Should we catch it and put it in a cardboard box?"
Old Li shook his head, "I'm not too clear on this, but we probably shouldn't touch it. Let's step back and give the owl a quiet and relaxed environment."
"Wait a second, let me take a photo first!"
Tang Xiaoxin snapped a photo of the owl and then they all stepped back, closing the door to the water supply room behind them.
Old Li was puzzled, "Why isn't she going to class?"
Teacher Bai explained, "Tang Xiaoxin said she has the contact information for the director of Linhai Zoo, so we let her get in touch to see if the zoo could come and take the owl away."
"Oh! If the zoo is handling it, then there shouldn't be any problem."
Old Li's eyes lit up, praising, "Speaking of which, I visited their zoo during the holidays and it was indeed quite nice. Some students even asked me about it after class. Why don't we suggest to the school to organize a trip there sometime? It would definitely increase their interest in learning about wildlife."
Teacher Bai's brows furrowed slightly as he pondered, remaining silent for the moment.
Meanwhile, Tang Xiaoxin had started typing.
"Brother Fang Ye!"
"An owl flew into our school."
"Alright, just leave it there on its own, your attempting to catch it might injure it, and you could also get scratched. Send me your location and we'll come over."
"Eh eh, this is Linhai No.2 Middle School. I'll give you my phone number, so you can call me when you arrive."
"No need to be so polite, Teacher Bai." Fang Ye suddenly remembered this was a school and added, "Also, if you could remind the students, please try to keep quiet around the area when classes end. It might take us over an hour to get there."
Old Bai promised continuously, "Eh, all right, all right." Continue your saga on empire
Anxiously, Tang Xiaoxin asked on the side, "How did it go?"
"The director said they will come over later, told us not to touch it and to keep the surrounding area quiet." Just as Old Bai was about to return the phone to Tang Xiaoxin, he suddenly remembered the phone was his own, took it back and waved his hand, "Okay, go back to your study session."
Tang Xiaoxin hurriedly said, "Old Bai, let me log out of QQ!"
While sending Fang Ye his mobile number, Old Bai shook his head, "As if someone wants to look at your chat history. There, logged out."
On the way back, Tang Xiaoxin thought about the big crowd of students who were around earlier, making noise and causing a commotion, and felt sorry for the owl.
It probably had never been watched by so many frightening bipeds before, its psychological shadow must have skyrocketed...
After hanging up the QQ voice call, Fang Ye also sprang into action!
He made a phone call to Lan Li.
"Director, what's going on?"
Fang Ye was concise, "A Eurasian eagle-owl flew into Linhai No.2 Middle School. We're heading out to rescue it now! Do you have clean towels? Bring two."
"Got it!"
Lan Li originally thought Fang Ye was calling to chat with her, feeling pleased with herself, but the moment she heard this, she became serious instantly, quickly taking out two unused towels from the wardrobe, putting on a raincoat, and hurriedly rushing out.
Fang Ye then called the security guard Lei Zhi to be the driver.
Transporting raptors requires a transport cage. During transportation, the cage should be covered. The darkness inside is safe and can reduce stress responses in the birds. A layer of non-slip material should also be laid down. Organic materials like hay or straw can easily grow Aspergillus spores, so it's best to use a carpet or towel instead.
He had never rescued birds before and had not prepared a raptor transport box. However, that was not a problem, as there were some cardboard boxes from previous online purchases of books and snacks that had been opened and not yet thrown away.
Fang Ye estimated the height of the eagle-owl and found a box that was about half a meter tall, just the right size for the eagle-owl to naturally stand and turn around without flapping its wings and risk injury.
The transport box also needed breathing holes for ventilation, which could be poked with scissors on the way there.
