he Painted Stork (Mycteria leucocephala), a large wading bird belonging to the stork family Ciconiidae, returned to Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve after a gap of 4 years, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Saturday.
The National Zoological Park (NZP) in Delhi on Tuesday said no fresh bird deaths had been reported in the water bird aviary or the migratory birds pond, even as samples of painted storks from the zoo recently tested positive for avian influenza.
Greater flamingos have once again migrated to Thoothukudi from various parts of Africa, southern Asia, the Middle East, and southern Europe. This monsoon season, painted storks have arrived in large numbers at White Lotus Pond, located in Srivaikuntam Kasba, Thoothukudi District, Tamil Nadu.
