Bird Brothers, A Delhi Story

Brothers Nadeem and Saud grew up in Delhi watching the majestic raptors called black kites circle in the sky above their heads.

But every year, when paper-kite-flying season came and people brought out their glass-coated kite strings called manja to have friendly battles, the beautiful birds faced dangerous skies. One day, the brothers found a black kite tangled in manja, but their local vet couldn’t help. As they got older, the brothers never forgot that day. Learning from a local vet, who taught them how to mend a bird's wing, and a neighbour who trained pigeons, they began to rescue and rehabilitate injured black kites.

Bird Brothers, A Delhi Story depicts the powerful true story of Nadeem Shehzad and Mohammad Saud, who have devoted their lives to helping these birds return to the sky.
