Bird Rescue

A large section of our Gurgaon Rescue Facility is dedicated to birds. At any given time, there are more than fifty pariah kites undergoing treatment at the facility. All the birds are rescued by us or brought to us by people who found the injured birds in various parts of the city. Our sister organization,  'FRIENDICOES', also gets injured birds and sends them to our rescue shelter for rehabilitation. A large number of pariah kites, owls, vultures, etc. come from 'Jain Bird Hospital', which does not have the infrastructure to look after the larger birds.

Another large aviary has been set up for peacocks. The National Capital Region has got a healthy population of peacocks in it's green belts. Peafowl are brought to our rescue centre as a result of road accidents, electric shock, or attacks by feral dogs or cats. Many of them survive the wounds, and within a few months' time, we release the birds back into their natural habitat.

For pariah kites, we have a soft release programme: the birds are kept in a large aviary; once a bird is able to fly properly, we allow it to fly out. Due to the availability of enough food and the presence of other birds, these newly freed birds stay near the rescue facility and return back for food for a few more days before they fly away.

Help us help them.
