18、e district will be built around long rows of trees and greenery in Ho Chi Minh City, according to Foster + Partners in a press release.Called “the Global City”, the project, including high-and low-rise residential buildings and public housing in addition to schools, a shopping mall and medical facil

27、red their findings from a project with Chris Biro, a globally recognized free-fight trainer, which included documenting Biros training process step by step so that conservationists can apply his methods when releasing birds into the wild.Biro has trained 400 students on how to free-fly their birds,
28、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. “A & Ms role in this project is to ensure this information gets put into a form
29、at 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 multiple parrot species using Biros techniques, thoroughly documenting every ste
30、p. 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 environments to learn the skills necessary to safely fly in open, uncontrolled
31、 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 their chances of being trapped by hunters. Biro used a “kernel flock”, human-soc
32、ialized birds trained in free-light, 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 train them themselves, cutting the difference when human socialization is not de
33、sirable 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 donespending years working with a group to learn how they do what they do and then translati

35、ining the 37 birds?AGetting familiar with their behavior.BEstablishing emotional ties with them.CInstructing them to follow commands.DTeaching them to identify natural dangers.14Whats the point of using a “kernel flock” in wild birds?AIt prevents them settling in open space.BIt allows them to social
36、ize with humans.CIt frees people from training them in person.DIt guarantees consistent intervention in them.15According to Woodman, what can they offer to scientists in parrot conservation?ALessons of failure.BValuable references.CGlobal cases of reintroduction.DAdvanced evaluation systems.二、七选五Tod
