Birds suffer horrible wounds and many die. If something comes in contact with the string it gets cut. The idea is for one kite to cut the string on another. They use kites with string that is razor sharp with bits of metal and glass. RE: Kite flying in India kills birds - Catherine - 08-23-2017 I haven't seen a kite for such a long time, but is that so? I can imagine with modern kites that the strings are terribly thin. Also it is more dangerous when lots of people are doing it all at once. But that was a pretty old-fashioned kite and I think the string was very thick and obvious. When I was a child my Dad used to take us to fly a kite. I had not heard of this festival before, so thank you for drawing attention to it Catherine. RE: Kite flying in India kills birds - Tobi - 08-23-2017 It is too horrible to think that every year there will be a massive loss of bird life and terrible bird suffering. I hope the work they are doing helps to change the way people fly kites. There is a campaign to stop the use of dangerous kite strings. Wouldn't it be more fun if you didn't have a pile of injured birds at your feet? I am sure kite flying is fun(although I have never been any good at it), but there is no need to do it in a way that endangers birds. Kite flying is also done at harvest festival in January and again many more birds are killed. They can't see the kite strings and don't know they are there until they are cut. It is heart breaking to see the hundreds of badly damaged birds who were doing nothing, but flying as usual. The use of sharp kite strings is dangerous in so many ways.
