It's a positive news and proves that efforts by authorities in the direction of protection and restoration of rare birds are bringing results. Humans should not meddle with lives of birds (and animals)and let them enjoy their freedom in their natural habitat so that richness of biodiversity is maintained.Thanks for sharing.
