The bird hospital receives around 2,500 birds every year, one of which is this barn owl with injured wings, relaxing in the hands of Mohammad Saud. (Credit: Vikas Choudhary/CSE)

Many birds that are treated in the hospital are injured by long threads or manjha used in kite-flying, which causes sharp cuts. This Egyptian vulture was one of them (Credit: Vikas Choudhary/CSE)

This open cage houses many of the recovering birds treated at the hospital. Mohammad Saud calls it the final test for them: if the birds manage to reach the top opening, they are fully fit to fly away (Credit: Vikas Choudhary/CSE)
