Can you imagine? I think this story from Germany is wonderful. It first tells us that Northern Bald Ibis birds who were in extinction have revived by breeding and getting back into the wild, Now scientists and conservationists have found a way to be foster parents to these birds as well as flight instructors. When the ibis were in the wild and it came to migration elder member led the way to where they had to fly but now there are no elder members and it is like starting anew. With human intervention the birds will be taught the migratory route.

@RasmaSandra It should be interesting to report how they work with them.
