18、staring at the homeowner. Not sure how to deal with the bird, the homeowner called Mass Wildlife.“This individual was very calm and we simply reached in, gently grabbed it, and placed it in the animal carrier,” Mass Wildlife Central District Manager Todd Olanyk says. Before releasing the owl, Olanyk
19、 examined the bird for injuries and found none. “It was released just outside the house where it was found,” he says.Wildlife experts say barred owls may find chimneys enticing during this time of year because they begin laying eggs from February through May. Since they dont build their own nests, t
20、hey look for holes. Mass Wildlife has also received similar reports of this happening with other birds. To help prevent wild animals like birds and bats from entering your home, Mass Wildlife suggests placing a metal cap with a screen on your chimney. Chimneys arent the only places that pose a dange

22、s used as gate posts and 11% contained dead birds. In another study on a nearby highway, 14% of the open pipes had dead birds. “The birds likely investigate the open pipe as a potential nesting site, and once inside they cannot climb the smooth metal or extend their wings to fly out.

26、ade entirely from clay. Today, the joint project, known as TECLA, is finally complete and on display near Bologna, Italy.Over the past few years, a number of 3D printed homes and communities have been conceptualized. While previous structures were made from concrete or plastic, TECLA was built from
27、soil found at the site mixed with water, fibers from rice husks (壳) and a binder (粘合剂), the last of which is less than 5% of the total volume. Printing with clay does have its weaknesses. Its a much slower process than quick-drying concrete the design can be printed in 200 hours but the clay mixture
28、 can take weeks to dry, depending on climate, and it also has height limitations.Building homes from earth, Cucinella pointed out, is not new. “The challenge was really using an old material in the history of architecture with new technology to find a new shape of a house,” Cucinella said. To that e
29、nd, the Crane WASP printers mixed water with the local earth, and then printed the 60-square-meter TECLA model layer by layer. The design features two circular spaces joined together with skylights, inviting full natural light inside. The residence includes a living area, a bedroom and bathroom. Its
30、 furniture, including tables and chairs, can also be printed using WASPs machinery, while components like doors and windows were fixed post-printing.The idea behind TECLA isnt necessarily to copy the same home for any environment, but to adjust the design based on the location. “We are not producing
31、 one type of house that you can print and use everywhere, because its different if you design a house in the north of Italy, or in the middle of Africa,” Cucinella explained. “The house responds to different climates.” Additionally, the building process can be easily taught and widely used.12.
