One Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher (ππ¦πΊπΉ π¦π³πͺπ΅π©π’π€π’) was turned over by Cloud A. Jaranilla of Purok Banaba, Barangay Sicsican, Puerto Princesa City to the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development Staff (PCSDS) on September 22, 2021.
According to Atty. David Jaranilla, Cloudβs father, the bird accidentally hit their mirrored wall and fell to the ground, and the dogs were barking at it when Cloud found it outside their house on the same day. Fearing that their pets would harm the bird, he reported the incident to the PCSDS. The PCSDS Species Habitat Management Section staff was immediately dispatched to the area to retrieve the bird.
On the same day, the Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher was released back to its natural habitat.
The PCSDS urges persons who happen to find or rescue wildlife to turn them over to our office, which can be contacted thru hotline numbers 0935-116-2336 (Globe/TM) and 0948-937-2200 (Smart/TNT). You may also send a message to our Facebook page for your other concerns.
