One of India's Most Advanced Clinics for Birds

Our Clinic

A fully equipped avian medical center in the heart of Delhi — on-site X-ray, modern operation theater, ultrasonic bone cutter, surgical laser, diagnostic lab, and ICU. Every piece of equipment chosen with one goal: getting birds back in the sky.

Where Every Rescue Begins

The clinic is the nerve center of Wildlife Rescue. Every injured bird that arrives — whether tangled in manja, electrocuted, hit by a vehicle, or fallen as a chick — passes through here first.

What started in a rooftop room in Old Delhi has grown into a professional-grade medical facility with imaging, surgical, and critical-care capabilities that rival university veterinary schools. The difference: every machine, every protocol, every surgical technique was developed for one species group — birds of prey.

That focus is what enables us to perform surgeries — like the propatagium repair developed by Saud and Nadeem — that no general-practice veterinary hospital in the region attempts.

Learn About Our Surgical Techniques

Inside the Clinic

Nine integrated medical capabilities under one roof — built specifically for raptor care.

X-Ray & Diagnostic Imaging

Dedicated on-site X-ray station for rapid fracture, dislocation, and internal-injury diagnosis. Triage decisions happen within minutes of intake — critical for the 11+ birds arriving daily.

Modern Operation Theater

Sterile surgical theater with full isoflurane gas anesthesia, vital-sign monitors, microwave ablation device, and precision instruments for complex orthopedic and soft-tissue procedures.

Ultrasonic Bone Cutter

Woodpecker Surgic Smart ultrasonic system — selectively cuts bone while sparing soft tissue. A game-changer for raptor orthopedic surgery, where margins are millimeters.

Surgical Laser

Therapeutic and surgical laser equipment for wound debridement, accelerated healing of manja-cut tissue, and post-operative therapy on burn and electrocution cases.

Ultrasonic Scalpel & Vessel Sealer

Advanced surgical instrument that simultaneously cuts tissue and seals blood vessels through high-frequency ultrasonic vibration — dramatically reducing bleeding, operative time, and post-surgical inflammation during complex procedures.

Diagnostic Laboratory

Hematocrit centrifuge for blood analysis, microscope for parasitology and cytology, and basic pathology workflow for comprehensive avian health assessment.

ICU & Critical Care

Temperature-controlled intensive care area for post-surgical recovery and critically injured birds requiring round-the-clock observation and intervention.

Avian Pharmacy

Stocked with antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, fluids, wound-care supplies, and species-appropriate pain management — sourced and dosed for raptor physiology.

Intake & Triage

First point of contact for every bird. Case logged, photographed, weighed, and stabilized before being routed to imaging, surgery, or the recovery wing.

Clinic Microscope

Magnification optics for microsurgical work — particularly the propatagium repair, where individual tendons (TPLT, EMR) are identified and re-apposed by hand.

Equipment Gallery

Photos from inside the operating theater, lab, and recovery rooms — the tools that save raptors every day.

A Bird's Path Through the Clinic

From the moment a raptor arrives until it's ready to move to the aviary complex.

1

Arrival & Intake

The bird is logged, photographed, and given an initial physical assessment. The clock starts on critical injuries — every minute matters.

2

Imaging & Diagnosis

X-rays reveal fractures, foreign bodies, and internal injuries. Blood work in the lab confirms infection, anemia, or organ stress before any procedure.

3

Surgery or Treatment

From a routine wound clean to a multi-hour propatagium reconstruction, the surgical theater handles cases most facilities refer out or decline.

4

ICU & Recovery

Heated, low-stress recovery boxes with continuous monitoring. Pain management, fluid therapy, and medication schedules dialed in to species-specific needs.

5

Transfer to Aviaries

Once stable and feeding independently, the bird moves out of the clinic and into the aviary complex for rehabilitation and flight reconditioning.
