Сontest "Photos of feathered friends" Yellow footed green pigeon (Prerna Jain)

ByPrerna Jain
Close your eyes and listen to the sounds around you. What do you hear? Can you hear the birds? If you can’t, picture a bird in front of you. Imagine you can see two birds, three birds, four birds. Imagine a group of birds sitting together. What do you see? You are probably imagining a pigeon, a crow or a myna and thinking of the sounds they make. What if I told you to imagine a rufous treepie, a magpie robin, a brown headed barbet, a kingfisher or a sunbird? Now, you are probably picturing yourself in a bird sanctuary. What if I told you to imagine all these birds perched on trees in a South Delhi neighbourhood? What if I told you that these birds are all around, even if you don’t always notice them? All you need to do is open your eyes and look. Our feathered friends are waiting to be seen.
