India’s first exotic and interactive Bird Park in Mumbai's Borivali area that houses over 500 birds of over 60 different species, welcomed 2 new baby ostriches! Both Sita and Geeta, as they have been named by the Bird Handlers, are just 3 months old and were brought to the Park about 2 months back post which they were quarantined. However, yesterday, June 20, was the first day at their new home where they will be living with the other bird families.
“We at EsselWorld Bird Park are all happy and thrilled to welcome Sita and Geeta. There is a new wave of excitement we all feel and we can’t wait for the little babies to grow up. Soon, we’ll have all three of them- Sita Geeta along with Pearl, walk around the Park where visitors will be able to witness the ‘Ostrich Walk’ and enjoy the beautiful site. We strive to make the experiences of our visitors unforgettable and this will surely bring in some exceptional memories!”, Paresh Mishra, President Business Development - Entertainment Portfolio, Ashok Goel Family office.
The two little ostriches were brought to the Park and were quarantined immediately until they got accustomed to the surrounding and they also got adjusted with their new and regular diet. Once the bird handlers realised they had settled in the new environment, they were introduced to the Park, and have been undergoing a daily training program that is meticulously followed to make sure the ostriches are healthy and socially comfortable with the visitors. These trainings are nothing but animal husbandry routine before introducing them to the guests.
While the Park already has an existing female Ostrich called Pearl who is magnificently beautiful and fully grown, has been around since the time EsselWorld Bird Park was launched. With Sita and Geeta coming in, Pearl will surely have some company and the 3 female birdies will surely be seen soon chilling together in their aviary!
