Abstract: Three Pariah kites were rescued and were brought to school of wildlife forensic and health on different occasions, upon detailed physical examination and radiographs; it was found that all three birds had complete, open, transverse fracture of their respective radius and ulna. The birds were severely dehydrated and were not fit for anesthesia; the affected wing was immobilised in a figure of 8 bandages. The birds were treated with fluid therapy, analgesics, injection Clindamycin and dietary calcium supplementation. For above mentioned birds, the values such as ALP, TLC, and serum calcium level were recorded; both before and after the fracture was done healing. Finally, after successful treatment birds were released back in their natural habitat.
