Villagers selling endangered birds from forest of Chatra district of Jharkhand

My name is Raju Kumar. I am calling from Chatra district of Jharkhand. I see in rural markets here people are selling an endangered bird species at high rates. The local name of the bird is Hurgum and I am not sure why it is sold at such high price and where they are finally taken. I request govt and NGOs working in this field to look into it and work for preservation of these birds. For more Raju Ji can be reached at 09430313721
