The population of the rare AVE, almost exclusively in India, has constantly decreased by 75% in the last 30 years, according to a report by the Indian Wildlife Institute.
The samples of the bird’s body have been sent to a laboratory in Dehradun to determine the cause of death, authorities said. The bird was incinerated according to the protocol, confirmed Mr. Gupta.

Preliminary reports suggest that the bird may have collided with the cage while flying or succumbed to another cause, officials say. However, the exact reason will be determined only after the laboratory analysis of the samples, added Mr. Gupta.
World Fund for Nature (India) says that one of the greatest threats for this species is hunting. This is followed by occasional poaching out of protected areas, collisions with high voltage electrical cables, fast movement vehicles and free dogs in the villages.
