The scorching summer is creating a huge trouble for the birds. Urbanization is snatching away their original habitats as well as natural source of food & water. Hundreds of stray animals, as well as birds, die due to the burning heat and lack of access to clean drinking water. Due to dehydration many birds become unconscious and fall on the ground, leading to an injury and trauma. Sadly, anthropogenic threats kill many birds every day. Changing urban landscapes are making their lives more and more difficult to survive. We received orphan nestlings, starving fledglings, injured juveniles and adults at Jivdaya with various ailments.
Last month, we have received a total of 750 birds from 21 different species which included the birds like Rock pigeon, Crow, Dove, Common Myna, Rose ringed parakeet, Red wattled Lapwing, raptors like- Black Indian Kite, spotted owlet, Shikra etc. Our expert clinical team gave them the best possible treatment for a fast recovery, they were fed species specific formula food until they went back to their natural diet. The feeding section was strictly monitored by our curator and his team. Regular weight charts are maintained to determine appropriate growth of the birds. Nutritional needs are also different from species to species and we make sure that these birds get what is needed. Our expert staff has been working on developing the right food that aids in proper growth. Here is the treatment summary for the month of May2020
