In 2026, Indian students built a 3D-printed bird feeder that helped 46 orphaned parakeets survive by mimicking a mother’s feeding.
In March 2026, final-year aeronautical engineering students from Gopalan College of Engineering and Management in Bengaluru created a 3D-printed biomimetic "mother parakeet" feeding device to rehabilitate 46 orphaned Indian parakeet chicks.
The low-cost, sterilizable model mimics a mother bird’s posture and feeding cues, reducing stress and improving feeding responses compared to traditional syringe methods.
Developed using CAD modeling and iterative prototyping, the device supports natural feeding behaviors and enhances survival rates, aiding all chicks in recovery for potential release.
The innovation, guided by faculty and wildlife experts, reflects the Gopalan Foundation’s commitment to applying engineering for social and environmental good.
