Three rare Pallid Scops owls rescued in Mumbai
Three rare Pallid Scops owls were found in different places in Mumbai.
These owls are very special and not seen often.
A group called Resqink Association for Wildlife Welfare is taking care of them.
Once they are better, the owls will be set free in their natural home.
Only a few people have seen these owls in the last ten years, so they are quite rare.
Three Pallid Scops owls were rescued from different locations in Mumbai.
These owls are rare, with fewer than a dozen sightings in the last decade.
The owls will be treated and released into their natural habitat after recovery.
Resqink Association for Wildlife Welfare is involved in their rescue and care.
