birds of india

Bhagvanji Rupapara's birdhouse is 140 feet long and has 2,500 earthen pots which shelter thousands of birds.

Every year, thousands of Indian Roller birds (neelkanth) are captured and tortured during Dussehra – all because of a superstition that sighting this bird during the festival will absolve the viewer of his or her sins. It’s time to end this inhuman practice, and some people are showing us how.
