SNAKES
ARRC does not rescue or relocate snakes, but we treat and release injured snakes.
Bengaluru has four species of venomous snakes. Be aware of them and do not attempt to harass or handle them otherwise you or someone else could get bitten.
Snakes are an important part of the ecosystem and are excellent at controlling rodent populations. Please keep this in mind before reaching out to relocate a snake. Even if one snake is relocated, if the habitat is good, another one will take its place !
If you come across a snake outdoors (in your compound or garden), it is best to leave it alone, it will go away on its own. To prevent snakes from coming to your compound, clear any rubble or debris from your yard which gives good habitat for snakes to hide.
If you find a snake inside your apartment/house, please give it a clear path to exit and it will leave on its own. If the snake is not leaving on its own, you can reach out to the BBMP Control room 080-2222-1188 or one of the private Snake catchers listed in Justdial. (FYI: Private snake catchers may charge for their service, please negotiate the amount in advance)
BBMP Control Room: 080-2222-1188
EXOTIC Birds
ARRC does not work with exotic birds.
Many people keep exotic animals as pets, especially large parrots from South America. These are highly intelligent, long-lived birds and require specialized care and feeding. Many people acquire these beautiful birds, but are unable to keep up with the level of care required. Please do not release exotic birds into the wild, as they have lost the skills and instincts needed to survive in the wild due to captivity and will die a slow death from starvation or horrible attacks from predators. If you are looking to surrender your exotic pet, please find another enthusiast who may be able to provide the correct level of care for the animal
If your exotic pet is sick or injured, please take it to one of the veterinary hospitals (below), that specializes in exotic species.
