Bomber 不就是 18 歲嗎?在 REF 關於牠的影片中,他展示了 2008 年拍到牠的第一張照片。
Wasn't Bomber 18? In REF's video about him, he shows his first photo of him from 2008.

不久前,曾有紀錄顯示一隻野生雌性穀倉貓頭鷹活到 18 歲時,仍然存活並持續繁殖。🥰
Not so long ago a wild female barn owl was documented to still be alive and breeding at 18 years old 🥰
嗨,@abzishere,穀倉貓頭鷹在野外的平均預期壽命(life expectancy)是 4 年,但這是因為牠們面臨許多生存壓力。從生物學角度來說(biologically speaking),牠們在人工圈養環境中可以活到 20 多歲。
Hi @abzishere, average barn owl life expectancy in the wild is 4 years, but that's because of the pressures they face. Biologically speaking they can live well into their 20s (in captivity)

我在想,有多少鳥兒是因為 Robert 的努力才活下來的——光是今年,在 Ash Wood 就有 Celeste、Rigel、Tappy 和 Apollo。那座池塘也在高溫期間拯救了許多其他動物。
I was thinking how many of these birds are alive because of Robert's efforts - this year alone, at Ash Wood - we have Celeste, Rigel, Tappy and Apollo. The pond saved many other animals in the heat

確實如此,Remy——如果 Robert 沒有設置好這套系統(set up)、持續監看(monitoring)並在需要時介入(intervening),那麼在真正的野外環境(in the true wild)中,Rigel——或許 Celeste 也是——根本不可能存活下來。
Indeed Remy - if Robert didn't have this set up and was monitoring and intervening as required, in the true wild, Rigel - and maybe Celeste too - never would have survived.
in the true wild

monitoring and intervening
