Rescue and Rehabilitation of Alexandrine Parakeet

ALEXANDRINE PARAKEET

Illegal wildlife trade is widespread globally, and is possibly third in value behind the illegal narcotics and arms trades.

For centuries, parrots have been kept as pets mainly because they are straightforward to keep and easy to replace because of the large numbers in trade. This has in turn created demand that has led to an organized illegal trade in parrots and parakeets.

Alexandrine Parakeet is Loyal, playful and talkative which can also learn tricks and is inclined to show off its acrobat skills.

Because of this nature and personality, “The Alexandrine Parakeet is one of the most sought after species in the Indian live bird trade and is traded in large volumes throughout the year".

Unfortunately one such lovely and active Alexandrine parakeet got caught up in a cage by an illegal trader and was kept in captivity for few weeks.

Fortunately one of our Rescuer got the information and rescued the parakeet.

It was brought to our hospital in a bad shape as it had injuries in its wings due to its stay in the cage illegally for weeks.

Our Aviary experts immediately shifted it to the Aviary section and without much delay started with its treatment.

Balanced nutrition consisting of fresh vegetables, leafy greens, grains, some healthy seed, tree nuts and a high quality commercially made formulated pelleted diet was given to it.

Alexandrine Parakeets are very active birds, and so they need plenty of exercise to maintain their physical and emotional health.

A large flight cage was prepared for it with plenty of space to be able to move around without damaging their long, beautiful tail feathers.

 A minimum of 3 to 4 hours a day to stretch, play and exercise outside of its cage was monitored by our Aviary team to strengthen its flight muscles.

Now almost it has grown strong, intelligent, more playful and active and welcomes everyone by its powerful vocal sound.

We are now in the process of contacting forest officials for its safe release and rehabilitation in its natural habitat.

Dear Donors!  Kindly continue supporting  us and cooperate  with us  in our mission of rehabilitation of wildlife in distress in its natural home.

Donate generously to keep our noble cause running smoothly for the benefit of Wildlife.
