Brahminy Kite bird turned over to<br />
<strong>City</strong> Environment<br />
by Roberto C. Dejon<br />
A baby Brahminy Kite bird<br />
(Haliastur Indus) or <strong>of</strong>ten referred<br />
to as Singapore Bald Eagle was<br />
turned over to the <strong>City</strong> Environment<br />
<strong>and</strong> Resources Office this morning<br />
after it was found in a caimito tree<br />
along Mabini St., here.<br />
Rommel Aparis, from the <strong>City</strong><br />
Sports Office said that the hawk<br />
was seen by residents in Mabini<br />
St., trying to fly high but could<br />
only reach the palm <strong>of</strong> a 30 foot<br />
coconut tree. He said that the bird<br />
made attempts to fly but fell on<br />
a branch <strong>of</strong> a 20 ft caimito tree.<br />
Aparis said that as residents in the<br />
area feared for the life <strong>of</strong> the baby<br />
hawk, they immediately called the<br />
attention <strong>of</strong> the LGU’s General<br />
Services Office for a boom truck<br />
to fetch the bird from the tree.<br />
When the boom truck arrived<br />
the young hawk flew towards the<br />
bucket <strong>of</strong> the truck, while the<br />
GSD personnel used a t-shirt<br />
to catch. It was then brought to<br />
the <strong>City</strong> Environment <strong>and</strong> Natural<br />
Resources Office at the New <strong>City</strong><br />
Hall.<br />
<strong>City</strong> Councilor Jose Alfaro,<br />
the Chairman <strong>of</strong> the Committee<br />
<strong>of</strong> Environment <strong>and</strong> Natural<br />
Resources said that the hawk<br />
is commonly seen in the sea<br />
particularly in the shoreline<br />
because they feed themselves with<br />
fish. He said that the presence<br />
<strong>of</strong> these birds in our shoreline<br />
indicates abundance <strong>of</strong> fish in our<br />
bay. Alfaro said that the hawk<br />
will be placed in the care <strong>of</strong> the<br />
aviary <strong>of</strong> the Energy Development<br />
Corporation in Tongonan.<br />
Rommel Aparis turns-over the bird to the <strong>City</strong> Environment <strong>and</strong> Natural<br />
Resources Office.<br />
