1 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: When I grow up, I want to be a scientist. 2 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 2: What does being a scientist means? 3 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 3: You be very very very smart and inventing stuff, wearing 4 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 3: a white coat and working. 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 4: In a lab. When I grow up, wanna be a 6 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 4: pilot with a uniform white always flying high up in 7 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 4: the sky. When I grow up, I want to be 8 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 4: a firefighter putting out flames, or maybe a police officer 9 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 4: keeping people say. It's so fun to learn what you 10 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 4: can be growing up growing up. When I grow up, 11 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 4: I want to be an artist that paints for trips. 12 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 4: Wanna be a scientist that does experimvents. Oh, so many 13 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 4: people you will be growing up, growing up, growing Yeah, 14 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 4: growing up, growing up, growing up? 15 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 2: Hi, and welcome to Grown Up with Emily, a Lingo 16 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 2: kids podcast helping amazing kids to grow up and be 17 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: even more amazing. And Emily, it's me. You know, as 18 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: a kid, I was always asked what do you want 19 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 2: to be when you grow up? And I wanted to 20 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 2: be so many things. Does it sound familiar? Then I 21 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 2: am glad you are listening, because you are going to 22 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 2: find out what it takes to be anything you want. 23 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: Are you ready to make science your superpower? 24 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: Yeah? 25 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 4: Growing up he. 26 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 2: Last episode, we met Captain Maria Fagerstrom, a pilot who 27 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 2: lives in Spain and flies around the world. Today, we're 28 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: embarking on a scientific journey. We'll explore wildlife conservation. Do 29 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: you love wild animals? If you've dreamed of being a 30 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: scientist who helps keep wildlife wild, you won't want to 31 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: miss this episode. Today we're going to meet an ornithologist, 32 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 2: an expert in birds, rowing up. 33 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 5: Rowing up. 34 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 2: We're visiting a wildlife rescue center in Georgia. 35 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: Is it a zoo? 36 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 2: Not exactly. Animals are in protected areas like a zoo, 37 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: but most are injured or ill or rescued from dangerous situations. 38 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 2: These animals are native to the area, so once they're healthy, 39 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 2: they're released into the wild. 40 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: So it's like a hospital for animals. 41 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 2: That's a good comparison. We're close to the owl area. 42 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: Georgia is home to four kinds of owls, barred, great horned, 43 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: barn and the Eastern screech owl. 44 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:57,399 Speaker 1: Oh. 45 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: Follow that sound. 46 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: Oh, it's a little owl. 47 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: That's an Eastern screech owl. Most are gray, but some 48 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 2: are reddish. It's so beautiful. Oh. A volunteer is approaching 49 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 2: the owl. 50 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: He's putting on some thick gloves. 51 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: I guess even little owls have sharp talons. Ah, the 52 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: owl has a damaged wing. 53 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 6: You know. 54 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:30,119 Speaker 2: Owls are birds of prey, carnivores. If this one can't fly, 55 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: it can't hunt. Let's strowl across the footbridge. Hmmm. I 56 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: see some grass and rocks and some holes in the ground. 57 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: I think I see a turtle. It's coming out of 58 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: that hole. 59 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: That's actually a tortoise. Its shell is rounded like a dome. 60 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: Tortoises can't swim in water like turtles. This is a 61 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 2: gopher tortoise, one of the oldest living species on the planet. 62 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 2: They've fit on Earth for the last sixteen million years. 63 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: Believe it or not, these tortoises have an important role 64 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 2: in our ecosystem. We call them keystone species. Many other 65 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 2: animals depend on them. They dig burrows underground that over 66 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty other species also call home. Now 67 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 2: they're endangered, at risk of disappearing. 68 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 3: If they're gone, the other animals who use those burrows 69 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 3: will lose their homes. 70 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they could die too. 71 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: Can they be saved? 72 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 2: Yes, Now, there is a law that gopher tortoises must 73 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 2: be relocated before land is cleared. Rescue centers like this 74 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 2: one help find them new homes. 75 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 4: Oh. 76 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: So, once the law is made, the animals are safe. 77 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 2: Not quite. Park rangers, wildlife enforcement, and conservationists work to 78 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: make sure humans are following the laws. 79 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: Oh. It takes a lot of. 80 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 2: Work, yes, and it can pay off. The most famous 81 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 2: success is the bald eagle. Sixty years ago, there were 82 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 2: less than five hundred in the United States. Now there 83 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: are over fourteen thousand pairs. There's a bald eagle here. 84 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: It lives at the center. Can we see it? We'll try. 85 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 2: Let's head to the educational center. Wow, it's a big bird. 86 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 2: The woman handling the eagle seems very comfortable. 87 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: The woman's name is Karna Newsom. She says she's an ornithologist. 88 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 2: She's taking the eagle back to its nest. When she returns, 89 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 2: maybe we can speak with her. Are you ready to 90 00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 2: meet a real scientist, an ornithologist. Yeah, Hi there, Karina. 91 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: I'm with Lingo kids and we want to find out 92 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: what it takes to be a scientist. Can we ask 93 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 2: some questions? 94 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 4: Please? 95 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 6: Do? I am ready to go? 96 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 2: Great? First off, how did you decide to focus on birds. 97 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 6: I ended up majoring in zoo and wildlife biology in college, 98 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 6: and part of that degree I had to learn about mammals. 99 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 6: I had to learn about reptiles and amphibians, and I 100 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 6: had to learn about birds. I was actually really afraid 101 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 6: to take that class because it was about birds in 102 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 6: North America and I didn't know about my own backyard wildlife. 103 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 6: But by the time I got to that class, my 104 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 6: professor showed the class a picture of a blue jay, 105 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 6: which is a beautiful bird. It has all different colors 106 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 6: and shades of blue and white and black. And I 107 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 6: had never seen that bird. And I was in class 108 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 6: and I said, what is that bird? And everyone looked 109 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 6: at me like I was crazy. They were like, that's 110 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 6: blue jay. They're everywhere. You've never seen that. I had 111 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 6: never seen that bird, but as soon as I left 112 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 6: class and looked around, they surely were everywhere. And so 113 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 6: at that point I realized that birds were a really 114 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 6: cool group of animals to study. 115 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: So cool, Karina, can you tell us three things all 116 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: wildlife biologists or conservationists need? 117 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 6: So I would say the thing number one that a 118 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 6: conservationist or a biologists need is a mentor. So the 119 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 6: only reason I am a biologist today is because someone 120 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 6: who was older than me and had more experience decided 121 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 6: to take me under their wing and show me what 122 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 6: their job looked like. I got to go behind the 123 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 6: scenes at the zoo, and that's the moment when I realized, Wow, 124 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 6: I want to do something with wildlife. 125 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: That's super cool. 126 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 3: One of my dreams is to hold or feed animals 127 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 3: in the zoo. 128 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: What else. 129 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 6: The second thing that conservationists need is experience to make 130 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 6: sure you actually enjoy doing it. So every single summer 131 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 6: I was at the Philadelphia Zoo, I was essentially practicing 132 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 6: taking care of animals. I was taking care of turtles 133 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 6: and birds and snakes and all kinds of animals. So 134 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 6: I was getting experienced to make sure I liked the job. 135 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 6: And saying number three that I think conservationists need is passion, 136 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 6: because even though taking care of animals and studying animals 137 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 6: looks like a lot of fun and it is, it's 138 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 6: also pretty hard. But it's hard in a good way. 139 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 6: When you love it, it's exciting. 140 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 4: But if you. 141 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 6: Don't like it, man, don't sign up for that right. 142 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: Really interesting, Karina, we'd love some tips at the end 143 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 2: on how our listeners can start learning these skills. We 144 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 2: also received some fantastic questions from our Lingo kids listeners. 145 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: Don't scientists always wear white coats and sit in the laps. 146 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 6: So when people think of a scientist where a laptote, 147 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 6: you are likely thinking of maybe a microbiologist, someone who's 148 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 6: studying little tiny organisms. But my kind of scientist a 149 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 6: conservation or wildlife scientist. Pretty much oftentimes we are outside 150 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 6: in the field. We're usually outside and covered in something, 151 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 6: whether it's mud, or it's plants, or sometimes it's other 152 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 6: fun parts of nature, but we're right out in the mix. 153 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 6: Outside you can also do both of those things, which 154 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 6: is the case for a lot of people who study animals. 155 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: But how do scientists study birds when they're flying. 156 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 6: One scientist I know uses a method where he's actually 157 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 6: recording the sound of birds. So he may not actually 158 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 6: be using his eyes to look at them or monitor 159 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 6: the birds, but he has a recording device. He sits 160 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 6: outside and as birds are flying over, they're chirping, and 161 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 6: they're making sounds as they do when we hear them 162 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 6: in trees in our own neighborhoods, and that allows him 163 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 6: to know what kinds of birds are flying over different 164 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 6: parts of the city at night time, Korea. 165 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 3: What's your favorite thing about being a scientist? 166 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 6: When I started that internship, I was actually terrified of 167 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 6: talking to people. The thought of talking to a group 168 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 6: bigger than like three of my friends was so scary. 169 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 6: And then within a week or two I actually found 170 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 6: out I loved it. I remember going out and gathering 171 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 6: crowds of people and saying, anyone want to learn about tigers? Right? 172 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 6: And then I would share everything I loved about tigers, 173 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 6: and I saw how people lit up when they realized 174 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 6: how passionate I was. The other part that I loved 175 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 6: just as much was being able to care for animals. 176 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 6: I remember the first time I touched the canke, I 177 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 6: was like, wow, you know, I thought they were flimy, 178 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 6: but they're actually pretty smooth and shiny, right. I remember 179 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 6: the first time I held a bird, I was so 180 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 6: surprised by how lightweight they were. So my first time 181 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 6: interacting with animals and my first time talking to groups 182 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 6: of people about how much I loved animals were my 183 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 6: two favorite parts of the job. 184 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 3: Karina and what should I do if I find a 185 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 3: bird that is hurt? 186 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 6: Wildlife rehabilitator. So if you see a bird that's hurt, 187 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 6: you want to find either put off some gloves or 188 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 6: maybe find a cloth or a T shirt and pick 189 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 6: it up and put it in a dark box, not 190 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 6: a big box, but a small box that it can 191 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 6: fit in, and then call your local wildlife rehabilitator. So 192 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 6: you'll just google wildlife rehabilitator near me and contact them 193 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 6: run right away. 194 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: What's the coolest fact about birds? 195 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 6: Okay, so the coolest fact about birds to me actually 196 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 6: comes from vultures. And vultures are usually birds that people 197 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 6: look at and are like, oh, growth, like they have 198 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 6: bald heads and they're kind of patchy looking. Vultures are incredible. 199 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 6: So vultures eat dead bodies of of animals, right kind 200 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 6: of growth. But their bodies are actually really well built 201 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 6: for that. If you've ever had a tummy ache and 202 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 6: you've had to throw up, you know that birds right 203 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 6: there's that summach acid burns our throats on stomach acids. Well, 204 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 6: vultures have stomach acid that is so strong it's anywhere 205 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 6: up to one hundred times stronger than ours. It can 206 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 6: dissolve boom, so they can eat solid objects and it 207 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 6: gets dissolved in their something because they can eat diseases 208 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 6: or or pathogens, little microbes like ravies. They can eat cholera, 209 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 6: which causes all kinds of horrible diseases in people, and 210 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 6: they never get sick. If we didn't have vultures, we 211 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 6: would be in a bad way. We would have disease 212 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 6: in our water and our soil. But they're making sure 213 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 6: that our ecosystems are healthy. So the next time you 214 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 6: see a vulture, they don't even have to think that 215 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 6: they're pretty, but just thank the vulture. 216 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: Thank you, mister vulture, even though you're gross. 217 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: Wow. Karina, thank you so much for sharing with us. Karina, 218 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: what is one thing we can all do to help 219 00:12:58,920 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 2: protect wildlife? 220 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 6: So, no matter where you live across the United States 221 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 6: or even in the world, when birds are moving and 222 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 6: flying during migration, most of them are flying at night time, 223 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 6: and unfortunately, lights that are on during the night can 224 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 6: be very distracting and can disrupt their migration and even 225 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 6: cause them to do things like run. 226 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 4: Into windows, which is not good. 227 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 6: So if you have outdoor lights like garage lights or 228 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 6: any sort of lights that are outside, turn those off 229 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 6: and you could even take it a step further and 230 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 6: encourage your schools to turn off lights at night or 231 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 6: your work places to turn off lights at night. We 232 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 6: call that the lights out Promise, the Lights Out Pledge. 233 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 6: We want people to take that pledge to help birds 234 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 6: migrate every night because over any given city. So for example, 235 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 6: here in Washington, d C. One night, we had thirty 236 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 6: million birds flying over the city in one night. So 237 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 6: if you can do your part and turn the lights off. 238 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 2: Perfect, We'll do our part right kids. 239 00:13:58,360 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: Yay. 240 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 2: We hope you enjoyed this episode of the grown Up Podcast. 241 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 2: Even if you never plan to be a scientist, learning 242 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: how to protect the wildlife in your area is life saving. 243 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 2: Do you know of any animals that live in the 244 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 2: wild where you live?
