They require long term care and a lot of physiotherapy before they are fit for release. Our vets and curatorial team has worked very hard to getting these birds back in normal condition.

A peahen was attacked by some stray dogs and lost one of her chicks in the fight. The bird was under shock and stress due to the incident. Our rescuer received a call for the distressed bird and immediately brought her into ‘Jivdaya ‘where the expert team started diagnosing her injuries. During the physical examination our vets found out that she did not have any major injuries however she was under shock. Co incidentally that very day we have also rescued 3 orphan peachicks and our curator decided to house them with the peahen in an adjacent cage and after observing them for few hours those peachicks were shifted to the cage with the mother peahen. For the next few days our team monitored their behavior closely and fortunately the mother peahen started accepting the orphan chicks as a part of her family. After a week of observation, the mummy peahen and her 6 babies (3 brooded and 3 adopted) have been released back to their natural habitat.

This injured bird was brought in with a wing injury in the right wing. After examination and X-ray, our Vet found that it was brought in very late after being kept at home for weeks which gave the injury time to heal wrongly and allowed the wing to nearly fuse. We have still tried with physiotherapy to exercise the wing and loosen the muscle. The thick-knee is now roaming free in the aviary recovering body and wing strength.

We request the public to please hand over such birds on time and allow us a chance to heal them properly and let them be released back to the wild. Please don't try self medicating and feeding wild birds at home. It will only end up being disastrous for the poor bird.

Thank you very much for always helping us by donating generously to carry on with our work and saving distressed innocent lives.

Recently a group of people purchased over 200 budgies and liberated them in a public garden in the heart of Ahmedabad city. The ones that couldn't fly due to injuries or illness were then collected and sent to our Hospital. And as for the birds that were released, they became food for the local crows, kites and shikras in no time. None of the released birds survived. The remaining injured birds are under treatment in Jivdaya and recovering.

So instead of doing a good deed, that group ended up releasing these poor birds to their deaths, while paying the seller and encouraging the trade. PLEASE DON'T BUY AND RELEASE BIRDS/ANIMALS without a future plan. Budgies can be maintained in captivity, in small and large aviaries, but not in the Wild. Also it is ILLEGAL TO RELEASE EXOTIC SPECIES IN THE WILD, under the Indian Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.

Thank you donors for your trust in us!
