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.
