On Sunday afternoon, a female peafowl met a tragic end after falling from a wall near the Panchavati Police Station in Nashik. The bird had been perched on a tree within the police station grounds before attempting to take flight. Upon losing its balance, the peafowl plummeted to the ground, causing concern among those who heard the commotion.
Assistant Police Inspector Sharad Patil swiftly responded to the incident, carefully lifting the lifeless bird and relocating it to a secure area. Despite attempts to hydrate the peafowl by offering water, there was no reaction, indicating the bird's untimely demise. Police authorities promptly informed the Nashik Forest Department about the unfortunate event.
Following the police report, a team from the Nashik Forest Range office promptly arrived at the scene to claim the body. The Forest Department speculated that the peafowl's sudden fall may have been a result of panic, possibly triggered by the presence of a bird of prey lurking in the trees. Additionally, some staff members noted that peafowl frequently venture from the nearby MERI forest area in search of sustenance or hydration, which could have contributed to this unfortunate incident.
