Avian Rehabilitation

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.

A peacock was brought in after it was injured due to some blunt force trauma. The ulna was fractured but the radius was intact somehow. Our avian expert Dr. Shashikant Yadav performed a routine intramedullary pinning to set the fracture, allowing the bone to fuse properly.

For us, now at Jivdaya we can say that even intramedullary pinning in birds, has almost become routine because our vets end up performing such surgeries every few days. We receive a lot of orthopedic cases throughout the month, from fractures due to accidents, fan injuries, human conflict and many more. Yet each orthopedic case is a big deal for us and each case is different in its own way. We win some and we lose some. The recovery time may take longer in a few due to other complications in the injury or some may heal surprisingly well. Nature keeps on constantly challenging us.

This peacock is doing well and is under recovery in the Aviary.
