10、 have been able to put it back,but no luck.My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful.A wire basket was found.I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable.I placed the chick in the nest,and it quickly calmed down.Now

11、 all that was needed were the parents,but they were absent.I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks.These advertise the presence of chicks to adults;they might also encourage their chick to start calling as well.I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed

17、more and more people to itthere are 100,000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone,according to TheGuardianand how it is helpful for people to be much stronger:It trains coordination (协调) and balance.So,the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it

18、to the 2024 Olympics.However,parkour practitioners themselves dont seem to be happy with the idea.They see parkour as “a lifestyle”,wrote the website Next Sport Star.“Its a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport.”Indeed,many do parkour just to “escape the daily routine and exper
