precipitous drop in the wild eastern loggerhead shrike population in the 1990s, Environment Canada invited Wildlife Preservation Canada to join the multi-partner recovery effort in 2001. Since then, the wild population size has fluctuated. Studies have shown that although the recovery effort has prevented the species from disappearing from Canada, more work is required to identify and address the causes of the species\u2019 decline. WPC works to prevent the endangered eastern loggerhead shrike from disappearing by building the wild population in Ontario, and studying the species to learn more about the threats they face.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-5aqggzq-bfbc6547915b261e4d8eb6a6f9c665c1 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_hr  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mrtn21mn-37d1306993ebb4e6db2198f33af73020'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Meet Barb, the newest species ambassador for loggerhead shrikes! Barb was hatched and hand-raised this past summer at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute (SCBI), one of the Loggerhead Shrike Recovery Program\u2019s Conservation Breeding facilities. Barb will eventually hold the important role of teaching the community about our impact on nature and wildlife, and about what we can do to help conserve species-at-risk like the loggerhead shrike. Close-up encounters with Barb will help foster love, appreciation, and connection to the natural world.\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Named after the unique impaling behaviour loggerhead shrikes employ when storing food (often on thorny bushes and barbed wire), Barb quickly won over the hearts of WPC\u2019s Loggerhead Shrike Recovery team. She was hand-fed a unique diet rich in vitamins and nutrients that are specific to the needs of a growing loggerhead shrike while being raised, and is now happily feasting on a daily diet of crickets, mealworms and mice. She is monitored closely by facility vets and keepers to ensure the highest calibre of health and welfare. For SCBI keeper Leighann Cline, hand-rearing a loggerhead shrike has been one of her professional goals since she became involved with the program in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are such an amazing species, but it is very difficult to get visitors excited about their conservation when they cannot see one up close,\u201d Cline said. SCBI primarily breeds shrikes with the goal of reintroducing birds into their native habitat. Therefore, interaction with humans is kept to a minimum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBarb is a very energetic and charismatic bird who seems to enjoy interacting with her keepers,\u201d Cline said.\u00a0\u201cWe are certain she will easily win over the hearts of visitors and raise awareness to the alarming plight of not only loggerhead shrikes but of many of our native grassland species.\u201d\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While cuddling with a young songbird may look cute, it should only be undertaken with proper permitting and with appropriate resources. Do not try this at home! Barb will undoubtedly excite and engage everyone she encounters, which will give community members the opportunity to foster a strong connection with loggerhead shrikes and the grasslands they live in. If you want find out how you can help the loggerhead shrike, visit our website at <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/fr\/\">wildlifepreservation.ca<\/a>. Be sure to visit our conservation breeding partner facility at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalzoo.si.edu\">www.nationalzoo.si.edu<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Did You Know?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although shrikes hunt and eat the same things as a bird of prey, they lack a bird of prey\u2019s strong talons and powerful feet. To compensate, they shake what they\u2019ve caught in the same way a dog would shake a chew-toy, and use their specialized beak to tear away bite-sized pieces of food. Anything that is left uneaten will often be impaled on barbed wire and thorny shrubs like hawthorn bushes, giving them the suitable nickname of \u201cButcher Bird\u201d. The behaviour is thought to serve several purposes, including acting as a larder of food for nestlings and a territorial display to attract mates and mark home range boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>Keepers at SCBI provide everything Barb needs to perform this natural impaling behaviour in the comfort of her enclosure. She is given hawthorn and buckthorn branches, which are replaced regularly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4wfinvq-8ec6a1951ee0c6b7f75a99284f9503af\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-4wfinvq-8ec6a1951ee0c6b7f75a99284f9503af{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-4wfinvq-8ec6a1951ee0c6b7f75a99284f9503af hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-last'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-4gejhja-7cb8fa3fe102f159a4038c9bc5959f6e main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  blog-inner avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-11974'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-3yow8na-ef40343caf1cb4b6942d04296738e0ce av_one_full  avia-builder-el-11  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  author-section first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mrtn2svi-adfbc40419cecef4bc1c6c125738e97e'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Jane Hudecki<\/h3>\n<h5 class=\"et_pb_member_position\">Conservation Breeding Coordinator &#8211; Eastern Loggerhead Shrike Recovery Program<em><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Jane holds a Master&#8217;s degree in Animal Biosciences from the University of Guelph, where she studied building collision injuries in migratory songbird species.
