Birds.... birds.... birds. I am enjoying them. And you?

shiby, I love the nature, I love living in village life than here in the city. I don't know much about birds, but I like to hear chirping/singing. My hometown is also facing some threat from developer- they want to cut hundreds of trees for a new building

birds are an indicator for the integrity of nature. You are lucky if you have many species around you because that means that nature is intact and if nature is intact that is also good for you. Most people just ignore them or don't care at all about them, others see or use them as a mere study subject or even hunt them because theyr stupid and have no idea that if they destroy a life they also destroy themselves (otherwise they'd never do it) ... anyway, don't want to start a rant here about that topic :D In your case you can figure out which are the most threatened species of your area and try to help them, e.g. by buildling appropiate nest boxes (like I do and perhaps you do so already, too?) and sometimes you can also give them birdseed (if they lack it). That would be especially important if the forest gets demolished as you think. However, there are only a few bird species that don't need at least a few bushes or trees for their survival. Thus removing trees actually means killing the birds or at least displacing them. Of course, EVERY bird life counts - not just that of a threatened species. So helping them or preserving their habitat is always a good thing. If their habitat is okay though leaving them alone or at least living in a mutually beneficial relationship with them is the best thing we can do imo.

I worry about the birds, too. Some of them don't do well at all in cities. I am in a small city now after living in the country most of my life, and I really miss the birds. There are a few here, but nothing like we had out there. We only have a few common species. I used to feed them just so I could see what kind came to eat.

I also like seeing different birds and like the sounds of the birds in the trees. I am living in the city and there are not much trees, but there are some in which birds do come and visit and make different noises. I think in the villages there are lots of trees with lots of green nature and there are lots of birds visiting them.

You have raised your worry about the existence or residence of the lovely birds because of the expansion of human residential areas. This is also what I have been worrying about. Just one month ago, there was a tractor digging all of the trees and bamboos on the riverbank close to my apartment. I hesitated to see them dug up leaving only wild grasses. I managed to figure out that they were trying to make the small river more beautiful. I hope them to grow as many trees or bamboos along the river for more birds and squirrels to come back because I love to see them. Take care.

We are blessed here in Australia by an abundance of birds. You travel to Europe and the USA where white man has been for a lot longer and you see much less bird life due to them being wiped out by humans for food and for their perceived nuisance values over time throughout history. Unless it is night time, you cannot go anywhere around here without the constant sound of birds. It is really part of the Australian sound. The sound of the Aussie bush! We get woken up every day by the sound of chirping birds, letting us know that the day ids looking great and that we should get out and enjoy it. Sometimes the birds wake us up too early, (kookaburras are good at this) but mostly it is at a perfect time to get up.

Birds are very interesting to watch. I love looking at them and watching them, and often exploring all the beautiful colors in them. Over the yrs. I have had the pleasure to see many different kinds of birds from Robins, Blue Jays, Cardinals, etc. One of my favorites to watch and see is the Eagle, and glad we have quite a few of them around here.

it is really sweet to hear birds chirping. every morning i wake up with chirping of birds which make me happy to start a new day. this makes me cheer that i am unable to express my feeling. of course it can be a little annoying when it is holiday or weekends when i am trying to sleep.

we don't get a lot of birds where i live but i would like to live out in the country where you see all sorts of wildlife. my hubby's aunt lives near a lake and has a big picture window in front of her kitchen sink with a bunch of bird feeders. she can see all sorts of birds come to her feeders. its quite interesting to watch.

it reminds me on several villages in my country there are people in indonesian village still keep the birds for their pets and it will be enjoyed every morning when the birds try to communicate with their language..

I have done just the reverse. We shifted from a Metro to a semi rural setting just to be close to nature and we have been amply blessed. We have created an environment just to attract birds with fruit trees, lots of greenery and a bird bath. We have several birds visiting us every single day. The cuckoos particularly are a joy to watch and listen to. I just put together a video and uploaded it on to youtube. You can visit http://youtu.be/EWgtxuoe8oU This video is about cuckoos that visit my garden every day. Please put your speakers on.

I love birds too. they are so cute and lovable. I often try to take photos of any bird that I see. However, I am living in the city right now, Then i don't have many chance to see them at all. Long time ago, I could see many birds in my grandma's garden, but right now it is really hard to see them in there. It is so bad... I hope we should think of caring birds carefully, if not one day our kids have no chance to see them also.

Oh, I love birds. Like, really love them. I'd have a ton of pet birds if I had the room and the money and the energy to care for them all ... alas, I don't even have the room for one right now. Someday, I will have one! Birds are some of my favorites animals! They're so interesting, and a lot of them are really intelligent. Birdwatching is one of my not-so-secret hobbies. I could use a good pair of binoculars and a camera for that.

I am very eagerly wating listen the sounds of birds in my place in the summer seasons. My place is at an altitude of 4300 feet from sea level (Tenga, Arunachal Pradesh, India) and due sever cold no birds available during Winter seasons. But during summer the beauty brings to Tenga by different migrated birds. If anyone listen the sounds of birds that fellow can feel the beauty of life.

shibham, unlike you, i have been born and lived all my life in the city which is now a metropolis and a concrete jungle.Thousands of trees have been sacrificed at the altar of construction and therefore the green cover has disappeared virtually.However there still are a number of trees in the city and there is also a bird population in them.In my younger days when there was no building boom there were thousands of trees with a variety of birds.I have never been a bird man but i used to enjoy listening to the musical notes coming from their chirps and calls.Sadly many of the birds have vanished and just a few remain and i only hope that they don`t disappear too.

I live in a village at the moment, and the birds always wake me up in the morning. I can tell what time it is depending on how many of the birds are singing at that time. I used to live in a town for a little while, and I will admit that I missed the birds singing in the morning, and I think that it will have been one of the reasons that I finally chose to move back to where I used to live. It just wasn't the same, and I am very happy living where I am now, being with the birds and all of the other wild animals that live around me.

I've seen a few birds here and there around here. Of course, with the weather being what it is, I think that a lot of times, the birds are just as confused about the weather as we are. Plus, the fact that the tree in my backyard was blown down right in a storm last year, so some of the birds close by had to find a new home. Evicted by the weather. The number one problem for birds, other than things being cleared out. Birds are a wonder of nature and sadly one that is not appreciated as much as they should be. I fear that they are going to be a bit more scarce as they have less places to go. Yet as humans rise, other species are going to fall. One could argue that we have not risen all that much. Still birds are a wonder and as I am typing this, I can hear some chirping in the distance.

Hi Shibham :) That's quite good that you still able to see such birds. Here in the city I never seen birds except pigeons..He he.. I have seen few more at my hometown but not more as it is also developing like a city. Human are just used to takeover their home and making their own. Forest are important in many ways. And we should understand this thing. I would like to see such birds some day.. Keep uploading more pics.

Hello Shibham, I think we all are very well aware of the fact that you are very close to nature, birds and animals. But I must say, you are also an excellent photographer. Nowadays one bird has built its nest on the almirah in one of our room. Whole day long we get to hear the chirping of the bird and its nestlings. It feels so nice to see the bird getting food for its chicks and feeding them with love and affection.

I like birds, small and big. I like eagles and hawks. I like watching them fly free.
