Kaur ,Civil surgeon,Ludhiana.She noticed that it has got entangled in a kite

string on a tree at her residence.It has an injured wing with bleeding.She

contacted People ForAnimals and provided water etc. to almost shocked animal .

PFA unsuccessfully tried to inform the Forest Department & A PFA staffer was

sent to fetch the injured Bird at Jeev Kalyan Kendra & Bhagwan Mahavir

Abhayshala at Khwajke(Rahon Road),Ludhiana , keeiping in view of no

arrangements /squads to tackle these type of cases in odd hours or holidays by

Punjab Forest Department.

 

 

It is about 10-11 inches golden and white bird with ghostly

Mask , having long heart sized face with small black eyes. Its upperparts are

golden brown with black and white speckles.it has white underwings and chest.

The legs are coated with feathers.It hisses or snores with wild shrieks.it nests

on old buildings,
