Question

Fifteen years ago, brothers Nadeem Shehzad and Mohammad Saud rescued an injured black kite and took it to a veterinary hospital. The hospital refused to treat the bird saying that they did not treat birds of prey. When the brothers found another wounded kite, they decided to take matters into their own hands. They took advice from veterinarians and did some research on the Internet, and set up an operation theatre in their bedroom. This was followed by an open-air ward on their terrace. Adults and children alike from nearby localities began bringing the injured birds they found.
Both Nadeem and Mohammad have always loved birds and animals, and are saddened by the meagre facilities available to injured animals. Today the brothers have learned to treat such birds and they have twenty-eight injured birds recovering on their rooftop. “We've taught ourselves to treat fairly complicated injuries,” said Shehzad. In fact, the brothers are the only people in Delhi who stitch back torn wings. Their patients often fly off even before the stitches are fully healed!
During Independence week, kite flying is a national pastime. However, the glass-coated kite string (manjha) is so sharp that it cuts through wings and bones of birds. It's dangerous for the pigeons, crows, owls, kites and other birds that get entangled in it! Often kite fliers don't realise that by leaving strings of cut kites on trees, wires and buildings- they're creating death traps for birds.
"We also want to learn micro-surgery to join broken arteries and veins. And we're studying techniques of joining bones," said Shehzad, "Then, almost all the birds we treat will be able to fly free!"
