A RARE BIRD RESCUE OPERATION

It was yesterday evening thirty minutes to break the 12 hours day fasting, I received a call from #friends of Nomad Green Belt Movement (NGBM) imploring to promptly attend to a bird that fall down when a huge Tree hosting its nest blown away by heavy wind was discovered. The Tree hit the ground, but didn't injure the bird. During the rescue the bird was motionless and spread its wings startled by the accident.

Over 109 birds get stuck when heavy wind blows away Trees hosting bird nests. Through my wife Madam Meiymuna Abdullahi and my effort, the operation took us nearly fifty minutes, finally we managed to release back outside 101 birds from folded bird net's, five eggs broken and we rescued hatchlings   strewn all over, some were over 2 days old.

The eight hatchlings we found were showing no signs of life, nonetheless, put on a table to figure out if we could revive them, unfortunately there were limited chances to rescue them as a vet physician skills, likely to resuscitated it was insuffiently lacking.

We moved away a bird nest from the fallen Tree and moved the nest to a nearby Trees. After we removed the birds were startled for some minutes, later the birds started stretching their wings one after the other, then off they flew.

As volunteers, we admire solving a new, and unique challenges, discovering different, with excitement to solve grass root challenges.
We treated a bird with stains of blood, at sides below its wings. Traditionally, we knew the excellent way to stop bleeding is to sprinkle the wound with cornflour which we did as rescue couple. We discovered birds don't have much blood, so we stemmed it quickly with cornflour.

We have discovered basic life saving skills in the process, solving natural phenomenon in respect and love for birds therefore  responding to the birds.

We treated  a bird with a wing injury and strapped the wing carefully so that it's movement is kept to a minimum and in the normal position to avoid more harm.

Imagine, the beauty of volunteering, this productive work is at zero cost and worthy course.

We feel proud sharing thrilling experiences in the field so that we impart relevant skills or display the kind of work we do during free times or in emergency cases relating to our work.

Thanks to the prompt caller who is #Friends of Nomad. We have named you a Saviour.
