28、ate student of Texas A &M University, and Professor Donald Brightsmith shared their findings from a project with Chris Biro, a globally recognized free-flight trainer, which included documenting Biros training process step by step so that conservationists can apply his methods when releasing birds i
29、nto the wild. Biro has trained 400 students on how to free-fly their birds, but his process was only captured by video previously. “We have colleagues raising and releasing birds, but their main objective is conservation and they have no chance to write up a lot of the science, ” Brightsmith said. “
30、A & Ms role in this project is to ensure this information gets put into a format so others can read, criticize, use and improve it. If information hasnt made it into scientific literature, its not improving future parrot （鹦鹉） conservation. ”Woodman and Biro spent years training three flocks （群） of m
31、ultiple parrot species using Biros techniques, thoroughly documenting every step. These 37 birds, which collectively spent 500 months in free-flight, were hand-raised from chicks to build a strong bond with the trainer before being gradually taught new commands and introduced to increasingly complex
32、 environments to learn the skills necessary to safely fly in open, uncontrolled areas. They learned to recognize and even frighten natural enemies, and avoid unsafe situations. Traditionally, attempting to release hand-raised parrots has resulted in birds that show little fear of humans, increasing
33、their chances of being trapped by hunters. Biro used a “kernel flock”, human-socialized birds trained in free-flight, to teach survival behaviors to other parrots. This technique being applied to establishing new bird flocks in the wild allows conservationists to release wild birds without having to
34、 train them themselves, cutting the difference when human socialization is not desirable in wild birds. After the “kernel flock trains the non-socialized birds, it could be recalled and moved to another location, leaving behind a well-established settlement of wild parrots. The work weve done - spen

Establishing emotional ties with them. C. Instructing them to follow commands. D. Teaching them to identify natural dangers. 14. Whats
37、the point of using a “kernel flock” in wild birds?A. It prevents them settling in open space. B. It allows them to socialize with humans. C. It frees people from training them in person. D. It guarantees consistent intervention in them. 15. According to Woodman, what can they offer to scientists in
38、parrot conservation?A. Lessons of failure. B. Valuable references. C. Global cases of reintroduction. D.
