NO BIRD NO LIFE

BIRDS

After waking up this morning, the cool breeze and the chirping of bird sitting on the jamun tree in front of my house made the mind happy. May all day I could not forget that scene, today we will do that little bird whose tweet has sent our mind Becomes happy.

Importance

Many of us or many may not heard story of Bird DODO. Story of dodo will help us to understand how a bird in important for nature and how its extinction affects the world. Dodo bird or Raphus cucullatus was a flightless birds native to the island of Mauritius. Now they are not with us. This is talk of 17th century when Dutch first time entered in Mauritius. That time there was no mammals on island. Dodo used to eat fruits fallen from trees. As portuguese became the first human to set foot on Mauritius. The island quickly became a stopover for ships engaged in spice trade. As no other source Dodo became the welcome source of fresh meat for the sailors. Large number of Dodo were killed for food. Now sailors started bringing other animals rats, monkey to the island. Now DODO bird had little fear of survival. Rats,pigs and monkeys made short work of vulnerable dodo birds eggs in the ground nests. Thus the common exploitation of human made Dodo totally extinct from the earth. The last dodo was killed in 1681 after 1505 of arrival of human in Mauritius. But with Dodo's extinction a truth came out that the tress fruit which Dodo used to eat and was passing through its digestive system used to make the seed active and grow again. Now more than 300 years after one species became exinct. The same trees also stopped growing in the world.

Have we ever thought that these birds have only such importance in human life, more than this, if we think this, then we are wrong, in fact it is because of them that there is life on this earth.

From dispersing seeds and transferring nutrients through their migratory patterns to scavenging decomposing animal to prevent the spread of disease to humans, birds often have numerous and vital roles in their ecosystems.

Birds play an important role in agriculture production by eating unwanted pests from both crops and livestocks, helping to prevent the depletion of crops. Birds also provide cultural services, exemplified by birds central roles in art, national pride, religion, and as pet champions.

The seeds that they eat and throw here and there produce other trees, they are the best source of pollination process, if it is not there then the human will not have food.

These are the creatures who do not ask us for anything and give us everything, We think that their houses are sky and trees, they have nothing to do with the people of the land. But knowingly or unknowingly our tiny bad habits threaten the lives of these birds.

The hard truth

Every year more than 10 lakh birds are being killed by our tiny mistakes.

Like eating the plastic waste that is dumped in the sea. Because most of the packets are cut from the side and we throw a small piece of it in such a way, due to which the smell of food, these birds eat it as food.

Due to air pollution, they are getting diseases related to the eyes and due to which they fly into the sky and die after colliding with anything.

These birds die of thirst in the summer season due to global warming.

The bigger reason than these is only and only human workmanship which is the use of pesticides in the fields. Birds, who came to help us, is a pesticide-infested animal who dies within two seasons Since natural water bodies have been completely eliminated from our society.

what can we do?

 Although we cannot directly help them, but by improving our small habits, we can save the lives of a many birds. For example, you can put artificial slurry on the roofs of your house and keep a pot full of water and grains for eating. Secondly, do not throw the plastic in the open or make small pieces of plastic. Plant more trees. Sow the fruit seeds in the land in place of throwing them in waste. Use bicycle for small distances. Avoid using any and all pesticides or insecticides: not only can birds ingest these harmful chemical directly, but recent research has shown that these products can remain in soil for months after their use. And as a customer promote organic farming products.
