Nursing bird back to health

A1“I cut up some pieces of chicken and fed it during the entire day,” Ali added. It was during one of Ali’s feeding sessions that his father came home from work, and realising that his son had found the bird and was nursing it back to health, decided to call the local office of the Environment Authority to turn the bird over to their care, as they are best equipped to handle such cases.

“The next morning, I called the Directorate General of the Environment in our region,” said his father, Ahmed. “They came over immediately, and thanked us for taking care of the bird.”

For the young boy’s efforts, he received a call from Dr Abdullah bin Ali Al Omairi, the chairman of the Environment Authority, which also made Ali’s deeds public by sharing them on their social media sites. “I want to thank Dr Abdullah and the staff of the directorate in Dhofar,” said Ahmed bin Kofitan bait Saeed.
