WPC\u2019s<strong> hacking<\/strong> program (and no, I don\u2019t mean computer hacking!).<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does hacking mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In conservation, <strong>hacking<\/strong> refers to the practice of raising young birds in an environment that allows for them to hone their hunting and flight skills, as well as view their natural environment from an area safe from predators before they face the world on their own. For endangered eastern loggerhead shrikes, this means we place the young born in our conservation breeding program a mesh-sided enclosure in suitable habitat.<\/p>\n<p>Within these specially-designed enclosures, the shrikes have natural areas of cover in the form of hawthorn trees. The hawthorn trees allow the shrikes to practice their signature feeding technique \u2013 impaling their prey, giving them the nickname \u201cbutcher birds\u201d. The birds are provided a daily diet of invertebrates and mice, which resemble their naturally occurring food.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-7pknzxz-d6c7000928e5ffa8f1aa40dff692d693\">\n.avia-image-container.av-7pknzxz-d6c7000928e5ffa8f1aa40dff692d693 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-7pknzxz-d6c7000928e5ffa8f1aa40dff692d693 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-7pknzxz-d6c7000928e5ffa8f1aa40dff692d693 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-43043 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-43043 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_7824-scaled.jpg' alt='' title='IMG_7824'  height=\"1920\" width=\"2560\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-2xxxhz-4af341a1c78e0fcba33ed50974d03eee'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Young loggerhead shrikes survey their surroundings from a hacking enclosure.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For WPC&#8217;s shrike team, the hacking program means caring for our live prey colonies, providing prey in large \u201ccorrals\u201d from which the shrikes may catch their meals, and observing the shrikes from afar to ensure they are exhibiting healthy behaviour. After an appropriate period adjusting to their new environment and learning to catch prey, shrikes that appear to be suitable candidates for release are fitted with a unique combination of coloured leg bands, or a MOTUS radio transmitter. The colour bands allows individual birds to be identified in future years if they are observed returning to Ontario after migration, while the radio transmitters allow for more detailed tracking of a bird\u2019s migration route.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Release day!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On release day, a large door is opened on the side of the enclosures, and the shrikes exit into their new world at their own pace. The food amounts we provide are gradually reduced over the following days, encouraging the shrikes to find their own natural food, but still providing some help should they need it.<\/p>\n<p><em>A few days post-release, this loggerhead shrike juvenile uses a hacking enclosure as a perch as it gazes out on the surrounding landscape.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lll6rtvb-2ea647ffa9b37539f303c085952eb88f\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lll6rtvb-2ea647ffa9b37539f303c085952eb88f img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lll6rtvb-2ea647ffa9b37539f303c085952eb88f .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lll6rtvb-2ea647ffa9b37539f303c085952eb88f av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-43044 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-43044 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_8154-1440x1080.jpg' alt='' title='IMG_8154'  height=\"1080\" width=\"1440\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-60zmrkn-c061f016d765142434eb74efad392e2c 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-43040'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-5w1uqc7-8265a08921831807f8028f9f44d84e24 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-11  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  author-section first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-5428q53-964a1ddd89462dedbb15c6b85e0a93cf'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Tyson Shank<\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">Napanee Shrike Biologist<\/h5>\n<p>Tyson graduated with a Diploma in Conservation Biology from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology and is working towards a certificate in Applied Digital Geography and GIS from Toronto Metropolitan University.
