Rohan, a resident of Alamgir, last night called Dr. Sandeep Kumar Jain, Member ERN, Wildlife Trust of India and President, People For Animals Ludhiana. He said that he saw a bird near a small dump being attacked by dogs, and asked what could be done. He was advised to keep the bird in a box or bucket to protect him from predators and weather. He immediately sent the pics. The bird was identified as a Barn Owl, possibly displaced due to destruction of its nest due to crackers.
Today Morning Dr. Jain informed Wildlife Range Officer, Narinder Singh. A worker from the Deptt was sent to take the bird for further evaluation, treatment and release.
People for Animals Ludhiana thanked Rohan for acting in time, and to the Wildlife Department for the quick response, Sanjeev Kundra, Authorised Signatory said, adding that a small call can save a life. If you see any wild animal / bird in distress, please do not ignore it – inform the Wildlife Department or People for Animals, Ludhiana.
