Rehabilitation of an Injured Golden Eagle (Aquila Chrysaetos): A Case Study
Habitat destruction and anthropogenic activities cause wild birds to migrate towards urban areas in search of food and sometimes nesting in high-roof buildings, where they are caught by local people using different techniques and are further used for hunting or recreational purposes. An injured Gold...
