Archers used live pigeons as archery targets in the 1900 Olympic Games.
Yes you heard it right this is a crazy fact about Archery history. In the 1990 era around thousands of pigeons died only because of being a target of the archer. There was no rules and regulations toward furious killing of the birds.
CRAZY Archery Facts
How Bird killing stopped?
The Wildlife Protection Act (WPA) of 1972 protects birds, making it unlawful to collect, keep, kill, buy/sell, or damage their nests.
This Act applies to all indigenous bird species.
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Animals (CITES) regulates international bird trade (Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species).
India is a party to an international agreement that ensures full protection for all migratory animals, making it illegal to trap, capture, hold, kill, or trade them.
Different Birds Got Rights after Wildlife Protection Act ( Crazy Fact )
India does not have any parrots. Parakeets are the green birds that we incorrectly refer to as parrots. Keeping them in cages is against the law. These birds are frequently used by so-called fortune tellers.
The penalty is a fine and up to five years in prison.
The only exceptions are lovebirds and blue rock pigeons, which are both forbidden to maintain in captivity.
Farming or keeping peacocks is prohibited. It is illegal to enclose or attempt to contain natural populations of these birds.
The WPA protects pheasants, jungle fowl, and partridges (teetar). Hunting, killing, buying, selling, eating, or serving them is prohibited.
Colouring birds (as done by bird dealers to make them look more appealing) is forbidden since the chemical colour is poisonous and probably carcinogenic.
Cutting a bird's feathers is unlawful since it equates to maiming the bird, which is a crime under IPC Section 428/429.
Under the PCA, cockfighting is a punishable offence. As a result, raising and teaching birds to combat is also prohibited.
Keeping or training falcons and hawks is prohibited. Because it is unlawful to buy or keep birds, it is also prohibited to hold bird release ceremonies to commemorate events when the birds were obtained through a sale.
