The common buzzard is a bird of the hawk family, which is protected by the Bern and Bonn Conventions, the CITES Convention and regional red lists of Ukraine. In natural conditions, it lives approximately up to 26 years.
“Birds are freedom-loving animals that live in nature and sometimes there are cases when they need human help. I am grateful to the veterinary clinic “Alfa-vet”, whose specialists first examined the bird, determining the damage, and the rehabilitation center for birds “Free Wings”, which is engaged in its treatment. Our employee Andriy Senyuk was in charge of transportation to the veterinary institution. Now the bird is already on the mend and will soon return to its natural habitat,” said the acting director.
