Badal Thakur told that in the morning suddenly a strange sound was heard in the courtyard of the house. When I came out, I saw a beautiful water bird lying on the ground. At first they did not understand which bird it was, but it was clear that it was injured and needed immediate care. The family gave him water, allowed him to take some rest and then contacted the forest department.
As soon as the information was received, the forest department team reached the spot and took the bird under its protection. Department officials confirmed that it is the Lesser Whistling Duck, also known as Whistling Teal. This bird is generally found in lakes and freshwater ponds. Its specialty is that during flight it emits a distinct shrill ‘whistling’ sound, by which it identifies its species.
The Forest Department said that the bird has suffered minor injuries and is being given first aid. As soon as he recovers, he will be released into his natural habitat. Praising Badal Thakur and his family, officials said that such sensitive steps prove that the people of Godda are aware about environment and wildlife conservation.
Local people believe that this is not just the protection of a bird, but a big message of human compassion and environmental protection. This step of Badal Thakur is also being discussed a lot on social media, where people are praising the awareness and sensitivity of the family.
