Intense heatwave this year has been affecting the birds and animals who, like human beings, need shelter to protect themselves from the searing heat.

Veterinarians and volunteers are picking up dozens of exhausted and dehydrated birds dropping from the skies every day due to scorching heatwave. Hundreds of birds are rescued in the last few weeks and rehabilitated at Jivadaya Charitable Trust in Ahmedabad.

Ahmedabad-based non-profit animal welfare organization Jivadaya Charitable Trust runs a rehabilitation center for birds, reptiles, and small mammals are rescuing these birds and providing water fluids, oral medication, and antibiotics to these birds to maintain the electrolyte levels of these animals.
