Birds such as these are a regular feature in our hospital. Most of them are admitted either with wing injuries or heat stroke in the summer months. Surgeries performed on wings are almost always successful under the expert supervision of Dr.V.N. Chariar and Dr. Jaya Chariar. After pronouncing them fit for release, they are put on test flights and once they pass the test they are released in their respective habitats.
Mass scale deforestation in the Samjay Gandhi National Park and the Yeoor hills force these intelligent monkeys to come out into city in search for food. Many a times baby monkeys are snatched away by trappers from the mothers and trained for street entertainment. Though it is illegal to do so, it becomes a challenge to rehabilitate these monkeys which become comletely humanised. This is Akku, who was suffering from a lymph node disease and underwent treatment for more than a year in our hospital. Today he is perfectly fit and will be regrouped with other monkeys in a rehab centre, trained for the wilderness and then released in the wild.
As on 22/09/2008 3 kites, 3 monkeys, 1 python, 1 monitor lizard are going to be Rehabilitee at pune.

Hi,
Read your post on rehabilitation of monkeys. Yesterday we saw a fully grown monkey visiting a nearby housing society in Brahamand. I wanted this to bring to your notice, before the monkey gets beaten up or gets caught by a street performer. The monkey has been seen near Nandanvan Housing Society, Brahmand, Azad Nagar off Godhbunder Road. I want you guys to rescue the monkey before it becomes a menace in the nearby areas, which might lead to an innocent monkey paying the ultimate price. I have been hearing complaints that the monkey has been entering into houses and stealing food from their fridges etc. For any help please free to contact me on kiranbh@gmail.com, I would be more happy to help you rescue this humble creature.
Thanks
