The dilapidated premises is being used as a veterinary clinic at present VADODARA/ANAND: Did you know that Gujarat’s coastal town – Khambhat - had a dedicated veterinary clinic to treat birds as early as 1539? It not only served the avian species, but also drew admiration for its work. This is how Italian traveller Pietro dela Valle who had sailed from Venice to India in early 17th century described the bird hospital at Cambay (present day Khambhat). The house of this hospital is small, a little room sufficing for many birds: yet I saw if full of birds of all sorts which need tendance, as cocks, hens, pigeons, peacocks, ducks and small birds, which during their being lame, or sick, or mateless, are kept here, but being recover’d and in good plight, if they be wild they are let go at liberty: if domestick they are given to some pious person who keeps them in his house (sic).
