Dean Moberg works at SeaWorld, which rescues more birds than any other type of animal. The hardest part of Dean's 1 is when he finds birds that were hurt 2 . Sometimes Dean finds sandhill cranes (沙丘鹤) that have been shot by arrows (箭) or hit by golf balls. Most of the time, the cranes that Dean 3 have been injured by chance. One way that they can get hurt is by looking inside rubbish for food.
When people see a crane that 4 help, they know to call SeaWorld. Dean and his team will drive hours to 5 the bird.
Usually, sandhill crane adults are found in pairs. The mother crane and the father crane work 6 to raise their babies. Dean knows how 7 the cranes are when they are separated, but if one of them is hurt, it must go back to SeaWorld for 8 .
Dean writes down exactly where he 9 each crane. When the cranes are 10 , he takes them back to the same place. He lets them go and they are able to find their 11 again.
Saving sandhill cranes with serious injuries isn't 12 ! Inventive, specially designed lift and support tools allow injured cranes to eat and rest while keeping weight off their 13 legs.
It takes a great deal of patience, determination, and love for these special birds to fully 14 . Luckily, that's something they find with Dean and the other 15 members of his team.
