Veterinary specialists and animal rescuers told Reuters that dehydrated birds are dropping from the sky in India as a record heatwave dries up water sources.
Reuters reported that dozens of high-flying birds, including pigeons and kites, have been plummeting out of the sky every day in India's western Gujarat state, where temperatures are currently reaching over 110°F.
According to the publication, veterinarians at an animal hospital in Ahmedabad said they had treated thousands of birds in recent weeks.
"This has been one of the most difficult years in recent memory. The number of birds in need of rehoming has increased by 10% "scuing," said Manoj Bhavsar, a member of the charity who has been saving birds for over a decade.
Vets have been injecting water into birds' mouths with syringes and feeding them multivitamin tablets.
Other animals, including cats, have also been suffering from dehydration.
Since March, large parts of India and Pakistan have been suffering from searing temperatures, which the World Meteorological Organization said was India's hottest March.
This month temperatures were expected to peak at around 122°F near the India and Pakistan border.
The nearly "unsurvivable" heat is increasingly the result of human-caused climate change, according to Yale Climate Connections.
