National birds | World of Birds | The anti-poaching squad has been conducting raids and the seizure of 12 peacocks, listed as schedule-1 protected species.
It was just over a month since forest officials seized 12 peacocks from the old city residence of a pet shop owner and slapped cases against him. Sleuths of the anti- poaching squad could not arrest him then, for violation of the Wildlife Act, 1972, by breeding the national bird in captivity. Any action against him now appears quite unlikely.
The assistant conservator of forests (surveillance cell) Kondal Rao has been sent on deputation to Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority, whereas the post of forest range officer (anti-poaching) has been lying vacant for over four months. Deputy forest range officer SK Baba Khadir Vali, who led the raid, has been shifted to forest utilisation office. That leaves only two wildlife associates (temporary posts) to enforce the Wildlife Act.
According to sources in the department, the pet shop owner, SA Sohail, who runs Fur and Feathers in Banjara Hills, also had business partnership with Nehru Zoological Park for supply of exotic birds.
Sohail has, according to officials, supplied exotic birds to the zoo and is learnt to have been breeding peacocks, including two pure white peacocks, in the cellar of his house in Mochi Colony, Kalapathar. It is also learnt that those who raided Sohail’s house had come under fire from their bosses and explanation was sought from some in the form of showcause notice. However, the principal chief conservator of forests (wildlife) AV Joseph was unavailable for comments despite repeated attempts.
Officials, based on a tip off, raided Sohail’s residence on May 11 and could not arrest him since he was in Mumbai then. But cases were registered against him under section 9 and 39 of the Wildlife Act, which would get him imprisonment up to 7 years.
“Sohail has come back and is very much in Hyderabad. It is just that no one in the department is showing any interest in following up the case and arrest the offender,” pointed out an official on condition of anonymity.
The anti-poaching squad has been conducting raids and the seizure of 12 peacocks, listed as schedule-1 protected species, was certainly one of their biggest catch till date. Hunting, petting and breeding of any wildlife species listed in schedule I and II can attract imprisonment of three to seven years.

A relatively fast-growing, short-lived, medium-to-tall tree of irregular form. Native to river bottoms, ravines and hillsides. Foliage is very susceptible to phenoxy herbicides. Also called Manitoba maple or ash-leaved maple. The largest tree in North Dakota is 61 feet tall with a canopy spread of 63 feet.
Aspen trees gorw fairly straight and become clear of lower limbs over time. Sometimes called trembling aspen because their leaves tremble in a light breeze due to their flattened petioles. Most extensive native range of any tree in North America. Rapidly recolonizes disturbed sites (after fire, logging, etc.) The largest tree in North Dakota is 70 feet tall with a canopy spread of 39 feet.
A medium to large straight trunked tree reaching 35 to 50 feet in height. Tolerant of wet or dry soil conditions, pH adaptable. Native across the eastern and central United States. Good windbreak and ornamental tree.
A small, roundheaded, low branched tree which may reach a height of 12-16 feet and spread on favorable sites. White to pink flowers followed by small, edible fruit.
Whether you love animals or are just curious about them, Animalogic breaks down what makes different animals unique and amazing. With new episodes released every other week, Animalogic goes in depth into each animal. What do they look like, where do they live, how do they hunt, what’s special about them, how do they make it in this harsh world? Throughout each episode, the host and illustrator bring the animals to life with little known facts about the featured animal, as she illustrates it in the background. Did you know Bonobos can play Pac man? Or that rabbits were used as pregnancy tests? Or that there is a jellyfish, that when sick or injured, can revert to its younger self, essentially making it immortal? The series is hosted by Danielle Dufault, an award-winning scientific illustrator at the Royal Ontario Museum.
