Ahmedabad: They pecked and necked in public, but nobody really minded the cacophonic romance by this bunch of parakeets seized as
illegal railway consignment on Wednesday.
Over 200 of the rose-ringed variety of parakeets were rescued by the forest department from Kalupur railway station and taken to the office of conservator of forests(CCF) in Hansol.
Conservator of forests (wildlife crime cell), Dinesh Sharma says, “We got a tip-off from New Delhi about this illegal consignment of rose-ringed parakeets parcelled from Meerut to Ahmedabad by Ahmedababad-bound Haridwar Mail.”
