A quest for harmony with nature
Birds indicate to us quite clearly if our actions are promoting harmonious coexistence
Arecent survey confirmed the disturbing trend of diminishing bird species and numbers in Kerala. I have noticed this phenomenon in Thiruvananthapuram, where I grew up in the 1960s.
The ancestral house was in a compound with many trees and I had seen paradise flycatchers with trailing tails and golden yellow orioles. Once a purple sunbird had built its pendulous nest at the front entrance, unaffected by our frequent movements. Over the past five decades, the compound changed to accommodate more houses with less greenery. A white-breasted kingfisher and a magpie robin became occasional visitors at dusk.
