Tamenglong district gears up to welcome Amur falcon (Falco Amurensis).
The district administration has imposed a ban on hunting, catching, killing and selling of the bird, locally known as ‘Kahuaipuina’, with immediate effect.
The migratory birds arrive in parts of Tamenglong and bordering areas from their breeding grounds in Northern China, Eastern Mongolia and far East Russia.
The district administration also organises ‘Amur Falcon’ festival annually.
