BANGALORE IS FOR THE BIRDS

BIRD CONSERVATION SPOT

TO ATTRACT BIRDS BACK TO CITY

Bangalore, India has turned a city park into a “bird conservation spot” to increase the city’s bird numbers.

Artificial nests have been built in trees, sand bathing areas and artificial ponds have been built, and grain has been put out to entice birds back into the city. More than 200 varieties of birds have disappeared from the city, as the city has been converted into a concrete jungle with increasing air and noise pollution.

If the bird conservation spot is successful, similar spots will be built throughout the city.

Shoutout to the Forest Cell of the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) for building the spot, and to the bird lovers of Bangalore for making it happen.
