In the Lan Krabue neighborhood of Kamphaeng Phet, a young cinereous hawk was discovered next Sunday. Before being released, it is already being cared for by a group of professionals in nearby Nakhon Sawan.
The team has examined the health of the migratory bird and found no signs of injury, according to Pimchanok Songmongkol, a veterinarian with the Department of National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation’s ( DNP ) Protected Area Regional Office 12th in Nakhon Sawan.
She claimed that the eagle was weak as a result of the lengthy journey for its winter migration.
The cinereous eagle, also referred to as Aegypius monachus, is thought to be the family’s largest representative. A sophisticated one can measure up to 12.5 pounds, have a maximum wingspan of three meters, and measure 120 centimeters in length. The child was 7.1 kg when it was discovered.
Because the bird is still a young birds, professionals have been unable to identify its intercourse.
To help strengthen its muscles, the freed bird is fed two foods of meat per day, totaling about 1.5 pounds.
” People do not frighten the eagle.” It consumes a lot of food and spends up to two hours in the sun each time. She claimed that although it tries to travel, it can only reach a height of one meter above the surface.
Next week, the DNP may take the hawk to the Raptor Rehabilitation Unit at Kasetsart University in the Kamphaeng Saen neighborhood of Nakhon Pathom.

The cinereous vulture, which has a population of between 16, 800 and 22, 800, is listed on the Red List of Near-Passured species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature ( IUCN).
The nomadic vulture is a unique look in Thailand, according to Dr. Pimchanok.
