Gurgaon: Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) has come forward to form a staff of 2 trappers to rescue the black-necked stork which was spotted within the Basai wetland, struggling with a hoop of a plastic bottle round its beak.
Vinod Kumar, additional important leader conservator of woodland, Panchkula, said, “BNHS is sending a staff of 2 trappers from Pinjore to Basai on Sunday morning. The staff will consult with the Basai and Najafgarh spaces. I am slightly hopeful of rescuing the fowl. It will not cross very some distance as these birds reside in pairs and prefer to stick in close by wetlands best.”
On Saturday, several groups of NGOs and birders visited the Basai wetland and the Najafgarh Jheel area, in search of the fowl. Reportedly, 3 black-necked storks had been seen flying near the Basai wetland but it surely couldn’t be ascertained if the fowl in question was among them.
Pankaj Gupta of the Delhi Bird Foundation said, “We were given to know that 3 black-necked storks had been spotted near the Basai wetland and rushed to the spot. But we could now not find the fowl. It has grow to be extraordinarily tough now.”
He added, “We should stay up for the fowl to get a bit weak so that it remains within the wetland and can also be rescued.”
However, professionals expressed fear as it'll be tough for the fowl to continue to exist with out water and meals for lengthy. It has been greater than 48 hours now.
“We are sending the trappers for this goal. First, the issue is that if birds feel weak, they in most cases conceal in secluded puts. Second, we don’t understand how a lot water the fowl is ingesting. So, it's tough to say when the fowl will feel dehydrated,” said Sohail Madan, manager of BNHS’s conservation education centre.
The black-necked stork has been marked as a near threatened species within the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) pink listing.
