A special cover was released on 8th February 2014, during the International Raptor conference held in Pune, organized by Ila Foundation Pune.

Birds of prey, also known as raptors, are birds that hunt and feed on other animals. The term "raptor" is derived from the Latin word rapere (meaning to seize or take by force). These birds are characterized by keen vision that allows them to detect prey during flight and powerful talons and beaks.
