Avian Rehabilitation

Summer is at its peak, temperatures often cross 44 degree Celsius. Many stray animals, as well as birds, die in summer due to lack of drinking water. Many water bodies have considerably dried up and the source of drinking water has come down drastically. Changing urban landscapes are becoming more and more difficult for the birds to survive. Several birds came with conditions like dehydration and starvation, majority of the birds were black kites and rock pigeons as they are most abundant in the urban environment. We also received birds with fractures and dislocations, which needed physiotherapy sessions for many days before they could heal fully. Our expert staff has been working on developing the right food that aids in proper growth, the feeding section was strictly monitored by our curator. Weight charts were maintained to determine appropriate growth of the birds. Nutritional needs are different for different species and we take care that the birds get what is needed. Despite the nationwide lockdown our dedicated staff able to rescue and treat a total of 541 birds, 91 infants and 123 raptors in the month of April 2020.
