Barn owl entangled in 'manja' and dangling from a tree.
Observation details
Around 12:30 in the night, I saw something like a large bird flapping its wings, dangling from a branch. The barn owl was entangled in synthetic kite string (manja) around its legs, chest, and neck. The string had cut so deep into its right wing that I couldn't remove a piece of it even after cutting away most of it from its body. The bird could not fly, so I kept it overnight and handed it over to the veterinarian at LaCONES, Hyderabad.
