Thane, January 12: A shaheen falcon was rescued after it got entangled in a kite string and suffered injuries in Thane, an official of an NGO dedicated to the safety and rehabilitation of wildlife said on Sunday. The shaheen falcon is a sub-species of the peregrine falcon that can reach speeds of up to 300 km per hour. The bird had suffered a deep cut on its left wing due to the glass-coated ‘manja’ (string) of a kite and was rescued at the Chandiwala Complex in Chandanwadi area on Saturday, said Abhijeet More of the Wildlife Welfare Association.
