Rama Krishna Sangem
BRS Rajya Sabha member J Sanosh Kumar caught in his camera a pair of parrots this Sunday, July 23. This is part o his #Sundayphotography to generate environmental consciousness among people in times of climate change that occupies global attention currently. Compared to any other wildlife, birds reflect the quality of ground and tree cover in an area. That’s a reason Santosh is focusing his camera lens on birds for the last few months.
Santosh, who founded #GreenIndiaChallenge six years back is doing his best to create awareness in public on the need to preserve green cover and grow more trees. On the occasion of GIC entering sixth year, Santosh called people upon to curb use of single use plastic bags, covers. These single use plastic covered a big menace to environment and animals too as they eat them along with the left out stuff.
Coming to parrots he captured in his camera this week, they are considered the most intelligent birds. Some species can be trained to imitate words uttered by humans. That’s why the phrase of parroting somebody’s worlds came into usage. There are dozens of parrot species across the southern hemisphere (they are not seen in the cold countries). Our Indian variant, with green body and red beak is most popular.
They east seeds, nuts and nectar, but some wild parrots also eat insects. Though technically they are not endangered in most parts of the world, they face problems in India, because of their good looks. People prefer to keep them as pets, in cages, while some fortune tellers use them to pick cards. People believe whatever is written on a card is their future. Of co course, the laws ban such practices. Bette we see and enjoy these beautiful birds.
