Chittorgarh, September 23 (Udaipur Kiran): A rare Indian Eagle Owl was seen near village Segwa in Chittorgarh. The huge owl was found injured near a farm. Its large wing had got caught due to an electric wire. Undergoing its surgery on Sunday, the bird has now been handed over to the Forest Department. Once recovered, it will be released into the wild. The injured bird owes its survival to the efforts of wildlife lovers, veterinarians, and the Forest Department.
It is reported that Nagendra Mod and his family of Segwa spotted an Indian Eagle Owl, which was seen unable to flap its wings even though it was trying to fly. Worried for its safety, Nagendra took the owl to his house to save it from being a prey. It had stayed grounded during the morning of Friday and so they hadn’t expected the owl to be shifted out by nightfall. As an extra precaution, Nagendra contacted wildlife enthusiast Manish Tiwari and Forest Department. Manish along with his team took the owl to senior veterinarian Dr. Dharmendra Son for proper examination. It was seen that one of the winged arms of the owl was broken and could be treated only by surgical treatment.
It was done on Sunday night when surgery was conducted under the lead of Deputy Conservator of Forests Vijay Shankar Pandey. Dr. Son operated upon broken wing of owl. Dr. Son mentioned that the bird will have to be under medical care for a few days and that it will be released back into the wild once it is properly recovered. The surgery was observed by wildlife enthusiast Nathu Singh from the Forest Department, Mubarik Khan Pathan, Ramkumar Sahu, Kanhaiyalal Salvi, and Rahul Wankhede. It is thought that the owl was injured somehow when it was caught inside the wires, and this is why it has the broken wing; consequently, it cannot fly.
