Bengal is a land of birds. There are several birds we can find in our backyard which are local as well as immigrants. Globally around 1300 species of birds are endangered or nearly extinct. There are several birds which our ancestors used to see frequently but we don't. Deforestation, Rise in environmental pollution, rise in temperature, increased mobile phone towers, high usage of pesticides has taken their toll. Scientist Rachel Carson's famous book Silent Spring magnificently used Keat's famous line "And no bird Sing" to describe the situation. This is an earnest try to find out some birds - local & immigrants - which are intertwined with our habitat. It's time we should take our stand and save their existence.
