FLY KITES, BUT LET THE BIRDS FLY TOO

Birds die unless they are freed from sharp kites strings

Is the message that representatives of various welfare organization in the city are trying to save lives of thousands of birds that fall prey to the annual kite-fling ritual during sankranthi Kite manja (strings) which are coated with powderd glass to make them razor sharp, leaves cuts and gled in them. Birds fall to notice the thin strings in the air

“once the fly in to it , they do not understand what to do and in desperation, start violently flapping their wings. Thus they get entangled and the Manja cuts deep into the wing.” With more and more kites competing for space with birds ,the casualties have gone up exponentially over the years. Kite lovers prefer only razor sharp Manja to win the popular pastime of kite wars. Fly kites in open grounds, avoid glass-coted strings.
