Rare species of owls return to Delhi after 70 years, birders excited

NEW DELHI: For centuries, Delhi remained the natural home for rare species of owls. But as pollution levels increased over the past decade, they began to abandon their habitat here and migrated to other more hospitable regions.

Now with the forest department running a campaign to create favourable conditions for their homecoming, rare species of owls have started to return to the National Capital Region.
