Avian Rehabilitation

Last month was truly dedicated to infant birds. This season we have received many infant birds from hatchlings to nestlings to fledglings. The infants are of common myna, red-vented bulbul, crows, house sparrows, parakeets, ibis, Shikra, pond heronetc. All are rescued from the city and its outskirts. Due to the season local municipality corporation trimmed a lot of trees which impacted in their natural habitat. Many of them lost their parents or dislocated from their nests. We received a total of 315 orphan birds, and we are hand-raising most of them. They are receiving special care in the brooder and were given formula food until being weaned on natural diet. Other birds that came in were suffering from injuries, both soft tissue and fractures. Many of them have undergone the required surgeries and right now they are recovering under medical supervision and physiotherapy before they are absolutely fit. Apart from the infants we have received 762 adult birds. Around 80% of them were successfully saved, below is the summary of total no number of birds and infant treated at our facility in the month of June 2020
