Mumbai-Mumbaikars are doing a tri-triangle due to the increasing heat in Mumbai, but animals and birds are also in bad shape. The number of birds arriving in animal hospitals and clinics is increasing due to unbearable heat.
Crows, pigeons, Neelkanth and sometimes Neelkanth are brought for treatment in birds.

Due to unbearable heat and humidity, animals and birds suffer from dehydration due to lack of water in the body. There is diarrhea and vomiting. In some cases, birds suddenly fall from the sky. Apart from this, stray dogs also suffer from skin diseases due to continuous heat. The animal official said that these animals and birds are given reinforcement treatment, glucose and kept in air -conditioned rooms.
In Mumbai, the birds have started falling ill with the temperature reaching 40 degrees. According to doctors at Bai Sakarbai Dinsha Petit Animal Hospital, Parel, 81 birds were brought to the Animal Hospital in the last one month to treat dehydration. It included 59 pigeons, 17 crows, 4 parrots and a duck.
Hospital manager Dr. Mayur Dangar said that when the birds suffering from dehydration are brought to the hospital, they are first given electrolytes. The bird is cured in about 3-4 days. In more severe cases, salt water is given, which helps the bird to recover within seven days.
Even big birds like owl and eagle are brought to the hospital for treatment when suffering from heatstroke. After large birds are healthy, they are handed over to animal welfare NGOs for rehabilitation, while ducks are sent to Banganga Lake.
