F.No.22-26/2004-CZA
(448)(Vol.I)
We are pleased to submit our half yearly report regarding the progress made
in implementation of the afore said conditions.
Regarding Serial no-3, our small Indian Black Kite Enclosure has 10 feet
height, so that every day when we check the kites ready for release, we are
able to catch them. Kites are not kept in our aviary on a permanent basis
(Photo graphs attached).
As Per CZA guidelines the kite aviary standard height required is 18 feet.
The problem with the kite aviary having the height of 18feet is, it will make it
near impossible for us to catch birds without harming them. Birds which are
ready for release, and this exercise is carried out on a daily basis
(photograph attached).
We do not keep birds on a permanent basis, our doctor checks the birds,
certifies its well being and the birds are released back in the wild.
Currently we have a socializing cage which houses 8 bonnet macaques of
which 5 are life time care (photograph attached).
We also have 3 blind macaques housed in individual cages (Photographs
attached).
We urgently require another socializing cage for 10 Bonnet Macaques, for
which we would greatly appreciate your help in funding. Please guide and
help us in this (Please find the photograph of the existing socializing
cage)
Looking forward to an early response and assuring you of our commitment
to the welfare of wild
Birds and animals and strict adherence to CZA guidelines and regulations.
Thanking You,
General Manager
