While we have the luxury of eating cucumbers, watermelons, icecreams and liquids to beat the sweltering heat, our feathered friends across the city are reeling under adverse effects of an early summer. Even as the mercury soars to forty degree celsius, water is difficult for them to find. As a result many of them die during this season.
As compared to previous year, the number of birds suffering from dehydration this year has gone up already. This year the heat started in early March,increasing the number of sick animals. Not only birds, but even large animals are getting affected due to this heat. Pet dogs suffer more than strays because the former are accustomed to air conditioned or fan-cooled rooms, and when they are taken out for walks they fail to adjust to the sudden change in the temperature, resulting in vomiting and diarrhoea. So Pet owners watch out.
Summers are here and so it the scarcity of water. We Humans can ask for water but what about Animals and Birds? They cannot. They can only rely on our pity to serve them water.
Seen in these 2 pictures - a Koala asking for water from passing cyclists. This was the first time this behaviour of begging water seen in animals.
Buy clay bowls around 3-4 inches deep should be 35-40Rs. each. Clay bowls are better than plastic or metal bowls because the water stays very cool even when temperature is touching 40-42 degrees Celsius. Also clay pots are unlikely to be stolen if used in public places for stray animals.
