The couple spotted a strange bird on the ice, and a rescue operation was launched, the outcome of which is anyone’s guess.

The Kemijärvi case is the second in Lapland this year. Lunni sightings are rare in Finland.

– There it was on the ice under the power line. It also had a small gash on its head, which the vet thought had come from another bird’s beak.

The wave took the bird home and despite being hungry and cold, it was surprisingly lively.

– It was really hard to hold. It felt like it had the power of a small village. I couldn’t feed or water it at all.

The bird was so brisk that Aalto decided to try it the next day to release it in Juujärvi’s mild, but the bird did not want to leave.

Happy Aalto tells the reason for his desire to help with a rare encounter.

– After all, it is legal to help animals in distress, but it is that love for birds.

Drinks, peace and warmth

According to Niinimäki, who has been managing the Lunny from Saturday, the bird is now a little better, but survival is not yet certain. Lenni was cold and starved at the time of finding.

Niinimäki manages the lunches by restoring the basic functions.

– Heat, peace and nutrition. Pretty basic stuff.

Niinimäki has fed lunages with a hydration fluid, which has included its favorite food fish.

– It’s a milkshake with fish and recovery food.

Even the solid nutrition has already begun to taste.

In addition to possible rehabilitation, Niinimäki considers one challenge to return to Lunn’s nature.

– The second question is, can it be allowed to return it somewhere in a promise and effective way? After all, it is not a wild bird in Finland and it cannot be returned anywhere.

According to Niinimäki, the return includes its own permission techniques that are not always simple.

Lunni is very rare in Finland

According to Pirkka Aalto, Lunne is now in the way of spring migration. They come early in the spring to the Varanger Fjord. There are also nesting areas near Finland. Kemijärvi’s Lenni may be a very lost individual in the spring change.

Lunches are not found in Finland every year. Last year, they were discovered in Lapland in January in Ylläs and Savukoski in Kuoskos. Both lunes were taken for treatment, but only one of them survived.

Kontiolahti and Joensuu also saw lost lunents in January last year. The Kontionlahti bird was taken care of, but in Joensuu the police went to shoot a bird, where there was a buzz in public.

There is one earlier lunatic sighting in Finland this year. On March 6, Inari’s Juutuu saw a young Lunni who had continued his journey along the river before entering the birdwatchers.
