We have receive 575 birds and 241 infants (Mostly orphan) in the month of November, suffering from head injury, Dehydration, Kite string injury, trauma and illness. A majority of these are rock pigeon and black kites as they are most abundant in the urban environment, but we also get rare endangered and sometimes critically endangered species for treatment and rehabilitation. Saving every individual bird is important for conservation of species and we have successfully treated and released above 70% of the received birds.
