"The little owl was picked up by the forestry bureau and sent to the city rescue station." After the little owl was sent away, the farmer Li Genyuan in Suichang Hulu Gang lamented in her WeChat moments.

However, even the forestry bureau has no idea about how to handle these three eggs. Finally, the eggs were sent to Li Genyuan's farm.
Li Genyuan put the three eggs into the hen's nest, hoping to hatch them the way hens hatch chickens.
"I went to see them every day", Li Genyuan said that since the three eggs were put into the chicken nest, her mind had been firmly hooked to them. But at the same time, she had no experience in hatching owls.
Half a month later, the two owls successfully broke through their shells. Unfortunately, one died just after coming out of the shell. The forestry bureau said it was not an easy job.
"It is smaller than a chick, with white fuzz, sharp mouth and closed eyes, shivering," Li Genyuan said.
Since the farm is on the mountain, Li Genyuan ran up to feed the owl every 4 hours. Even at 12 o'clock at night, She would carry her flashlight to take care of the owls.
A week later, Suichang Forestry Bureau was preparing to send the owls to the Terrestrial Wildlife Rescue Center of Lishui Ecological Forestry Development to give them better protection
"I have had feelings for them and I feel sad to send them away!" Looking at the car that picked up the owls fading away, Li Genyuan stood in front of the door, unwilling to leave for a long time...
