Thirsty birds struggle to survive in scorching Indian heat

Description

A volunteer scoops up a fledgling kite lying nearly immobile on a scorching Indian sidewalk as the relentless sun beats down on its feathers -- one of the countless birds struggling to endure an unbearable heatwave. One animal hospital in the western city of Ahmedabad has treated around 2,000 birds over the past month, many weak and severely dehydrated, with some suffering from broken wings after falling from trees.

That for us is exceptional.3. (Being closed), we had to get close to the public. During the first confinement, I made a daily video about rocks and their properties. In front of my camera, with my little rocks… it was a little geology course.
