The Effects Of Kite Flying On Birds

Flimsy and deadly, even master kite-flyers now and again cut their skin on the glass-covered Chinese manjha. To the hapless birds in the sky, the string appears suddenly and cuts through their bodies. For the kite-flying season coming in the following two months, changing to the less sharp Indian manjha can mean decisive for a great many birds in India.

Making a more humane festival

Each January, kites in many tones fill the skies in India – especially Rajasthan and Gujarat. The sun on Makar Sankranti should be helpful – reinforcing the body against amassed microbes of the colder time of year. The colder time of year crop is reaped and days become longer and hotter. Everybody assemble on patios to watch contender kites fighting for matchless quality. The more honed the string is the better shot at cutting the contender’s kite and winning.

Kite-flying is a well-suited articulation of the euphoria of Sankranti. Yet, for a large number of birds that can’t keep away from these strings, it is a demise sound. In Ahmedabad alone, more than 2,000 birds (counting uncommon and jeopardized species) are harmed each year. They kick the bucket or lose a body part while battling to get away from the knot.

The festivals can be similarly fun with a few thoughts for different occupants of the air, specialists say. Rather than utilizing the glass-covered nylon manjha from China, the Indian cotton manjha could be utilized. Kite-flying should be possible previously or after sunrise and nightfall – when birds are generally dynamic.

“Maybe we can adjust pieces and bits of the practice to eliminate the utilization of manjha and utilizing cotton strings. We can fly the kites in the day and when there are fewer birds,” says Raj Sisodiya, Animal Rescue-Disaster Manager, International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). He is one of the numerous activists attempting to make familiarity with the risks of the manjha.

Save the birds

Spreading mindfulness matters and is the initial phase in making Sankranti alright for the creatures. “The Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) works with creature salvage organizations in Rajasthan and Gujarat consistently, before Makar Sankranti and we see an unequivocal alter in individuals’ mentality,” says Aanchal Saxena, Assistant Project Officer, WTI.

WTI has a multi-pronged way to deal with making changes in the circumstance and this is the third year of their endeavors to help birds during Sankranti. The principal year was about sensitization and making mindfulness so individuals knew the risks. A salvage group was ready with preparing a volunteer organization.

The subsequent year, close by the mindfulness program and preparing, they got the Chinese manjha formally restricted. This year, they are working with law implementers to ensure the Chinese manjha isn’t really in stock, other than mindfulness and salvage preparing programs.
