Delhi's Extreme Heat Driving Birds Indoors, Stressing Wildlife Rescuers

Wildlife SOS, a rescue organization in Delhi, reported a 40% jump in animal rescues in April 2026 compared to last year, with many birds collapsing from heat stress. They're finding birds like black kites and parakeets seeking refuge in offices to escape the rising temperatures. This is a direct signal of extreme heat's impact on local ecosystems and public health.
