During the day, birds collide with windows that reflect the sky or surrounding vegetation, as they do not perceive the glass as a barrier. At night, nocturnal migrants crash into lit windows. Birds have a complex navigation system

Let the bird eat like a bird

“We have been witnessing walkers at lakes throwing bread and biscuit pieces at birds oftentimes in the past. But now more and more people are feeding birds food items such as chips, popcorn, biscuits, spicy fried items, etc. While most of the items are picked by pigeons and crows, other birds too end up feeding on these more often than not,” said JN Prasad, a city based bird enthusiast.

Nearly 750 birds rescued in Bangalore in June alone; overcoming lack of resources becomes norm [details]

Children who lost families to Covid are homeless
Recently, a Bangalore-based food scientist, Shishira Suresh used Dunzo services to send over an injured pigeon to the hospital.
The young rescuer who works in Canada but is in the city to be with her parents, took to her Twitter account to share, "A sentence I never thought I'd say: I Dunzo-ed a pigeon! Found an injured pigeon that couldn't fly sitting by the side of the pavement, with cars speeding by dangerously close to it."
Shishira who has rescued birds in the past reached out to ARRC in Bangalore but since they don't rescue pigeons, they directed her to the pigeon hospital managed by Ranka Vasanthraj. While the hospital, a not-for-profit, specialized in pigeon care, it didn't have its own logistics and used delivery app services to ensure the birds reach the hospital safely.

Avian and Reptile Rehabilitation Centre (ARRC), located in
Horamavu. Here’s more. The ARRC recently conducted a manjha clean up drive in the
Richards Park area.
“We analysed our data for manjha hotspots and found out that we conducted 41 manjha rescues in a 0.36 sq.km area of Richards Park over the past six months. The high concentration of
manjha thread in this area justified the necessity of a clean-up drive.
Thanks to Pradeep E Sinnas, a resident of the area who is always at the forefront of reporting and coordinating manjha cases. He along with other residents, offered us excellent logistical and onsite support during the clean-up drive,” said a note from ARRC.
