Birds
India has about 1,300 species of birds recorded. Such is the bird presence that any city can offer you
about twenty species at a given time. Greater birding is possible in Parks, some especially designated (like Keoladeo National Park,
or Corbett, ), forest areas, wetlands, river fronts and grassy patches. Resident, Endemic and Migratory species find favour here as they are well respected by people though habitat changes are causing threat to
some species.
