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 />
