<p>"Since there were no medical facilities and help there, we had to initiate a rescue operation. On Thursday we brought the bird to Mumbai and got it treated with help of a veterinary doctor who is known for treating avian species at her private clinic in Bandra. After treatment and examination it was observed that the bird is critical with a pellet gun bullet&nbsp;injury and multiple fractures. We are trying our best to help the bird and will keep you posted about the developments", said Pawan Sharma from NGO RAWW.</p>
