A black kite, which was found dangling upside down from a tree top unable to extricate itself from nylon string used for kite flying, was rescued by People for Animals (PFA) late on Wednesday.
The PFA received a distress call on July 19 regarding the kite that had been trapped near the Freedom Park on the busy 100 feet road and it transpired that the bird was struggling and in that situation for more than 24 hours.
Besides, the kite was being pecked by crows and was badly injured when the PFA team reached the spot. The PFA sought assistance from a skilled coconut tree climber Srinivas in the vicinity, and he successfully reached the kite, untangled it from the thread, and safely brought it down. The dehydrated kite was immediately secured by PFA staff for treatment.
