One evening this week, representatives of the Nature and Parks Authority and the Ministry of Agriculture's Plant and Animal Control Unit contacted Haim Luria, spokesman for Mayor Elad and an avid birdwatcher, and told them that they had received a letter from a city resident about a find he had found on the balcony of his house: an injured bird. The representatives requested the municipality's assistance in transferring the bird for treatment at the Nature and Parks Authority's wildlife hospital and safari in Ramat Gan. Luria says: "A person from the Nature and Parks Authority and a person from the IDF's intelligence unit called me at a conference, sayingThe Ministry of Agriculture received a report from a city resident who found an injured bird on his balcony. And he doesn't know what to do.  ""The bird control unit contacted the regional manager of the Nature and Parks Authority, Ami Lazar, who knows me and my love of birds, and asked how the municipality could help.". "הפעלתי את אפי שטרן, ויצרנו קשר עם בית החולים לחיות בר בספארי, והעברנו את הציפור - בז מצוי, שהוא מין מוגן - שהיה פצוע ברגלו. "הבוקר אמרו לי שהבז סובל מנמק חלקי ברגל, ובהמשך יידעו אם הוא יוכל להשתחרר לטבע". The peregrine falcon is a protected bird of prey, found in all parts of Israel. Its habitat includes agricultural areas, but also urban areas. It feeds on rodents, among other things, and thus helps agriculture in Israel by eradicating mice and pests.
