Birds Rescues

Key Bird Rescue Initiatives

1. Uttarayan Kite Festival Rescue Operation
   • Problem: During the Uttarayan (kite flying festival), many birds suffer severe injuries from kite strings, especially those reinforced with glass or synthetic materials (manja). These strings cause entanglements and cuts, threatening the lives of countless birds.
   • Action:
     • Sets up dedicated bird treatment and rescue centers.
     • Operates silkworm treatment facilities to carefully remove entangled kite strings from injured birds.
     • Provides immediate medical care and rehabilitation for injured birds.
     • Releases recovered birds back into their natural habitat once they are fit

1. Disaster Relief for Birds
   • Problem: Birds face challenges during extreme weather events like heavy rains, droughts, or wildfires.
   • Action:
     • Establishes rescue operations during natural disasters to save birds from danger.
     • Offers emergency shelters and safe zones.
     • Ensures access to food and water for displaced or stranded birds.
2. Avian Conservation Programs
   • Conducts awareness campaigns to educate the public about bird conservation.
   • Encourages responsible kite flying and advocates for using biodegradable or bird-safe materials.
   • Collaborates with local authorities and wildlife departments to enhance rescue efforts

• Success Stories

  • Impact During Uttarayan:
    • Rescued and treated hundreds of injured birds over the past years, including common species like pigeons, kites, and endangered species such as vultures.
