Puppet-rearing

whooping cranes

.

Puppet-rearing is a method of breeding

chicks with puppets that simulate adults of their species to avoid direct contact with humans.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Through imprinting, birds associate the first care images with their parents. In artificial incubation of eggs or orphaned chicks it is necessary to feed them by hand as long as they cannot do it themselves. For this reason, puppets are used to guarantee that the birds can be released later, having generated links with their own species and remaining distrustful of the human being.^[4]^[5]
