(IN): Rare birds stolen from Nandankanan Zoo

[Guest guest]

Earlier this month the Nandankanan zoo became a WAZA member.

 

And days later they are back to business.

 

Poaching inside Nandankanan and other Indian zoos is not a rare phenomenon,

in fact it is very much common.

*Bhubaneswar, Jul 28 (PTI)* Two rare green-winged macaws were stolen from

Nandankanan Zoo here, prompting the authorities to adopt stringent measures

to prevent such security lapse in future.

 

" Two rare macaws were stolen from their enclosures in the newly set up

aviary park inside the zoo two days ago, apparently in connivance with those

who are familiar with the place, " Nandankanan Zoo Director, Sudarshan Panda

told PTI today.

 

The full-grown birds were brought from Malayasia zoo in 1998 in exchange of

two white tigers, zoo sources said.

 

Since it is impossible for outsiders to enter the enclosure and break the

cage, involvement of some insiders, like temporary employees, is suspected,

Panda said.

 

Zoo authorities have already lodged a complaint with the police and

investigation was on, he added.
