Eagle family’s adventures create delight for bird lovers in Pingtung (2021/04/08)
A story for bird lovers. It's time to meet Pingtung's most beloved eagles. Recently, a popular livestream of a wild eagle nest was interrupted by the alarming sight of flames licking the tree. Luckily, the family emerged unscathed. Researchers at National Pingtung University of Science and Technology have been following the family for months. Soon, they say, the babies will be all grown up.
A mother eagle is guarding her nest carefully, when suddenly a wall of smoke drifts over the screen. Before long she's enveloped in smog and then flames, shocking the researchers watching.
Voice of Hung Hsiao-yu NPUST Ph.D candidate The babies were still lying in the nest here, about 20 meters down there.
The camera was in a tree trunk that caught fire. Firefighters rushed to the scene, fearing for the brood's fate.
With support from the Forestry Bureau, the Bird Ecology Lab at NPUST started the first-ever livestream of eagles raising their young in Pingtung. The fire was a big shock, but luckily, all the birds escaped. But this little fellow's trials weren't over. His right foot was caught in the strap of a discarded face mask.
Hung Hsiao-yu NPUST Ph.D candidate The mask got wrapped around Pudding's foot. Thankfully he managed to get it off himself after about two hours.
The mask was picked up by one of Pudding's parents, who also brought back to the nest plastic bags, a pair of women's underwear, and even ritual tomb paper. All these bits of litter are precious finds for the birds.
Hung Hsiao-yu NPUST PhD candidate They bring back light-colored things, because when they go in the nest, it makes the nest bright. Then when other birds see it from the sky, it's very obvious, it says, "My home is here, and I'm a good fighter, so don't come and invade my territory."
The livestream lets bird-lovers watch the whole life cycle of the eagles. After the fire, internet users voted to name the two babies "Pudding" and "Creme Brulee."
Voice of Hung Hsiao-yu NPUST Ph.D candidate Perhaps it was because they got roasted by the fire, so we call them "Burnt Pudding" and "Creme Brulee."
The researchers have fixed orange research tags onto Pudding and Creme Brulee's legs. They plan to later attach bird rings. In about a week they will be leaving the nest and starting their own independent lives.

老鷹育雛歷經火烤鳥巢小鷹取名「布丁」、「布蕾」
一隻母鷹站在鳥巢(nest)中警戒的環顧四周,突然間一陣白霧飄過來,瞬間遮蔽監視鏡頭,之後更是出現火花(flame),驚動鏡頭之外的研究人員。
[[聲源:屏科大博士研究員洪孝宇]] "這時候幼鳥都還趴在巢裡面,鳥巢位置是在大概往下20公尺的地方。"
架設監視器的樹幹整個燒起來,消防人員趕到後趕緊滅火,更擔心雛鳥的狀況。
屏科大鳥類生態研究室在林務局的支持下,首度在屏東鄉間進行老鷹撫育雛鳥的直播,沒想到竟然遇到火警,幸好老鷹家族全家平安。不過,這家子的災難還沒完,其中一隻小老鷹的右腳,還曾被口罩的繩子纏住,怎麼甩都甩不開。
[[屏科大博士研究員洪孝宇]] "口罩套住了布丁的右腳,那還好大概兩個小時之後,牠就自己把它掙脫了。"
原來這口罩是老鷹爸媽叼回來的,巢穴裏不只有口罩,還有不少塑膠袋,女性內衣,甚至有一次母鷹還叼了壓墓紙回來,而這些垃圾在老鷹眼裏可都是寶。
[[屏科大博士研究員洪孝宇]] "牠是叼淺色的東西,因為淺色的東西舖在巢裡面,這個巢就會很亮,其他的鳥從天上看過來,這個巢很明顯,很明顯就表示,一個象徵說我家在這裡,我的戰鬥力很好,所以你不要隨便來侵犯我的地盤"
透過直播,讓鳥迷能親眼目睹老鷹一家生活,也因為歷經火烤,網友投票將兩隻小老鷹取名叫做布丁和布蕾。
[[聲源:屏科大博士研究員洪孝宇]] "可能是因為牠們被火烤過,所以就叫烤布丁和烤布蕾。"
研究人員在布丁和布蕾的腳上繫上研究用的橘色腳環,準備進行幼鳥繫放,預計再過一周就會離巢,展開屬於自己的生活。
