15th August is around the corner...meaning the kite-flying season is here.

As we know, The glass-coated string (maanja) used for kite-flying has thousands of birds lose their wings and feet every year.  The maanja cuts across wing/feet muscles and even cuts through bone – in turn rendering a bird handicapped and unfit to fly for life. While several birds are found lying helpless on the roads with severe wound injuries, many more are found hanging by their wings on trees and cables; entangled in maanja.

So this is the time to keep a close look-out for your feathered friends.
