For this reason the sports village will be disabled for 45 days while this bird classified as ‘exotic’ breeds its chicks. Thus, all the activities that were scheduled to take place in this place were canceled.
According to versions of the local authorities, the eggs had already hatched, that is, the chicks would be in their first stages of life, learning to survive.
During this first stage of life, their mother will be in charge of teaching them the basics so that they can get along with autonomy around the world.
This is how the Medellín authorities considered the 45 days closing time as an adequate period for the hatchlings to carry out the adaptation process in the best possible way.
“We have to wait for parental care until they take flight and have autonomy”, indicated María Isabel López, biologist of the Environmental team from Medellín.
