Bird Watcher Blog

It is time for a quick flashback. I was five years old when my parents took me to a park. I and my friends were playing with the ball. The ball fell in to bushes and I had to bring it back. I disappeared in to the bushes and after few seconds emerged with a tiny sparrow in hand. My friends shrieked, but I ran to my parents. The bird was hurt and it required care. We took it home, nursed it back to health and then let it fly. If you are asking why I have to speak on something which happened years back, I would like to tell you that this was my first stint with the birds. I do not know what inspired me to take that bird in my hand; it was just that I could not leave it moaning in pain.

As years have passed I have become old, a mother of two but I am still passionate about birds. My husband jokes that my first love is birds and he happens to be only the second love. This made me sit up and think that if I could speak so much about my husband to others and even write letters to him on how I loved him, then what did I do about my first love?

This thought made me come up with the idea of the blog, as I thought this would be the ideal platform to discuss about birds and other animals. This will speak about my love with them, the various incidents that have occurred between me and the birds and of course about their conservation. So if you are a keen wildlife or bird enthusiast, then this blog should be on your reading list, for isn’t it always nice to learn about the other person’s love story?!
