Help the birds-2008

 

Thousands of birds fall victim to the sharp glass powder coated maanja with

injuries on their wings or just about anywhere, bleeding them to death. This

festival is one of the most unfortunate man made disasters for the avian

community of our city. More than 3000 birds get 'cut' every year in Ahmadabad

(India.) alone.

 

The kite strings are so sharp that it sometimes chop off the whole wing!! The

festival is round the corner and we need to prepare ourselves to save as many

lives as we can.

 

HTB2008 is coming up. HTB (Help the Birds) campaign is organized every year in

Ahmadabad by B.c.s.g-vulture cell with join hand with forest department,

Wildlife Rescue Center during the Kite-flying festival (Uttarayan) as an effort

to save the injured birds from certain death and giving them a survival chance.

Our primary focus will be birds of endangered species, especially White-Rumped

Vultures. Who will want to save these precious birds and YOU can be one of them.

We need your involvement to make this campaign a success! There are several ways

in which you CAN help, even if you are not comfortable with working hands on

with injured birds. Apart from rescue, we will need volunteers for attending

rescue phone calls, documentation, education / awareness programs, helping vets

in the operation theater, transfer of birds, transportation of injured birds,

data collection, donation and much more… All of this work is extremely important

for the campaign. This is your chance to help the urban bird life. Every one of

us can make a big difference in saving lives of the innocent feathered friends.

Let us all join hands and try to help them in whichever way we can.
