Crested ibis chicks leave Sado nest
|
|
All three of the crested ibis chicks hatched in the wild in late April temporarily left their nest on Sado Island in Niigata Prefecture on May 27, two days after the first sibling became the first to do so in 38 years, the Environment Ministry said.
The possibility is high that the three will come back to the nest or stay in nearby trees for a while. Still, the incident marked a landmark for Japan, which has tried for years to save the bird from extinction and used artificial breeding to reintroduce the species to the wild. (Kyodo News)
