At the rehabilitation center "Zoo Bishkek," a successful operation was completed on a white-tailed eagle and a buzzard, which needed help due to broken wings and lower limbs, as part of the volunteer program "Mission GOOD."

According to the Russian House in Bishkek, the surgeries lasted about two hours. Currently, the birds of prey are feeling well and are under careful observation by the specialists at the "Zoo Bishkek" center.

The white-tailed eagle is one of the largest birds of prey that inhabit near water bodies, rivers, and coastal areas. It has a powerful build and broad wings with a wingspan of up to 2.3 meters, as well as a characteristic wedge-shaped white tail in adult individuals. The main diet of this bird consists of fish, but it also hunts waterfowl and small mammals. In various countries, including Kyrgyzstan, the white-tailed eagle is listed in the Red Book due to a decline in population caused by habitat loss and human impact.

The buzzard, also known as the common buzzard, is a common bird of prey in Kyrgyzstan, preferring mountainous areas, foothills, valleys, and forest-steppe zones. It is characterized by broad wings and a short tail, and its coloration varies across a wide range. The main diet of the buzzard consists of small mammals.
