Birds of Madhya Pradesh

We all want to fly, but we hardly ever think about those who can.
"BIRDS” – a creation of nature that proves despite your size, you can always stay above all and measure the sky. Madhya Pradesh is famous for its forest and wildlife, and so is the Gwalior city. As places like Cancer hills, vivekanand hills, badagaon, bhadawana,  tigra and devko makes it rich in flora and fauna.
There are more than 50 species of birds including Greay babbler, Indian myna, red wattled lapwing and indian silverbill. Its very common to notice such small and lovely birds of different types on morning walks and evening walks in any park of gwalior. Even in monsoon season different type of soil living species such as snails, earthworms and slugs appear everywhere around.

Gwalior is also very much diverse for trees and plants, as mushroom to banyan, peepal to eucalyptus trees has covered the major land area.
But at the same time cutting down trees and deforestation because of real  estate industry remains an unconcerned issue in Gwalior. Construction and building industries are being castrotopic for Gwalior and playing a major part in downgrading tge ecosystem.
A single tree is home for 100 of birds, cutting down trees does not only decrease oxygen rate in local environment  but makes a countless birds homeless.

The only option that remains with birds is to fly and migrate to another far flung places where human race will take years to come.

Kamakshi Maheshwari - A environmentalist says, " I have seen in last 25 years a shift in the pattern of existence of migratory birds and also in the native birds. deforestation is leading to less of greenery, lack of lakes and Ponds, over construction of infrastructure all around has taken the place of birds. irony is the more smarter we are becoming the more weaker our Ecology is getting. Ecological imbalance is taking the shape of development which is making migratory birds not to come and natives to migrate to other states.

Anshuman Tripathi - A bird photographer says, "gadget Revolution has restricted knowledge about Birds to games and apps only but  in Indian culture feeding birds & animals had a hidden motive ofearning about them. he adds in monsoon Central Indian birds like brown headed barbet, Golden orioel, spotted owlet and jacobin Cuckoo are more likely to spot in Gwalior. the state bird of MP Asian Paradise flycatcher also flies to MP from southern part of Peninsular for passage migration and can be spotted in Gwalior."
Being a human we hold the responsibility and ability to listen and communicate with every other species of the planet.
Pollution, increasing no. of Co2 and harmful mobile signals have already killed a big no. of birds and have bought a lot of other species almost at the verge of extinction.
And now deforestation is doing the rest. Even after this blasphemy there are still people alive who hunt birds for the sake of their fun. Its hard for them to accept the fact that gone are the days when hunting was a ritual more than just a game. It is unethical in present scenerio to kill a already extinct species just for showcasing courage and hunting skills.

Nature enthusiast Mrs. Ami Prabal Jain Says ". Likewise other urban settlements common urban birds are found everywhere in Gwalior , like Blue Rock Pigeon, House crow, Laughing Dove and Brahminy Starlings  etc. in the areas  where greenery is sufficient  like thatipur area and other outskirts, we find many other birds, Indian Robin, Indian Chat, Oriental Magpie Robin, Asian Koel, etc. these are the resident birds, we find regularly. In different seasons of the year  many migratory birds come like  verditer flycatcher, red munia, scaly breasted munia, oriental  white eye etc.

Its hard for us to imagine a city without birds.
Its even harder to never listen to the mmelodious chirping of birds in our verandah that never felt noisy. try to imagine a sunset without homecoming of birds, a tree without a nest ?

Birds are the best mood enhancers of any city, they are the real explorers of city.
It asks for nothing to be a little caring towards the flying creatures.
we must  start living our life like humans  and being sensitive towards every creature living on planet earth.
