Musician Manta Sidhu takes up the cause of fostering birds that need help, and tells you why you should too!

Singer-songwriter Manta Sidhu has always been surrounded by animals – she had 13 cats at one point! If you’ve heard her soul-stirring lyrics, you may have caught glimpses of her empathic nature. So, joining an animal rescue shelter came naturally to her when she was studying in Delhi University’s Hindu College in 2012, along with three of her batch mates, with whom she later co-founded her NGO, Angel Eyes, in 2008.
