Black Kite — Fighting Avian Pox & Urban Hazards
In the early 1990s, brothers Nadeem and Saud found an injured Black Kite in Old Delhi. When hospitals refused to treat it — "we do not treat carnivorous birds" — they decided to learn themselves. What started at home has grown into the world's largest raptor rescue operation.
As featured in the Oscar-nominated documentary "All That Breathes", winner of 26 international awards including the Sundance Grand Jury Prize and the Cannes Golden Eye.

Found entangled in manja string with severe wing lacerations, this Black Kite is seen here under isoflurane gas anesthesia as our surgical team begins repair. After 6 weeks of intensive care and our novel microsurgical technique, he was released back into the Delhi skies.
Six juvenile Barn Owls — rescued at different times across Delhi, raised through fledging, and conditioned together for flight. Seen here lined up in the pre-release aviary the evening before their return to the wild.
An endangered Egyptian Vulture brought in with severe septicemia — a life-threatening blood infection. Sultan required aggressive antibiotic therapy and months of intensive rehabilitation. Every Egyptian Vulture saved is a contribution to species survival.
The first documentary in history to win both the Sundance and Cannes top awards. This film follows Nadeem and Saud as they rescue raptors against the backdrop of a rapidly changing Delhi.
