Join us in spreading awareness and saving lives through our Responsible Kite Flying Project, a vital initiative to protect birds from the harmful effects of nylon manja used in kite flying. Each year, countless birds suffer severe injuries, including lost wings or legs, and many tragically lose their lives.At our bird rehabilitation center, we rescue, treat, and release injured birds back into the wild.
