In today’s fast-paced world, we are all engrossed in our routine life and hardly care about our surroundings. We don’t know which trees are there in our garden or which birds lives or come in our vicinity. Sometimes, childrens are also not aware about common birds too.
I came across some good birds information boards when I had visited the Kandoba temple in Jejuri. These information boards are placed on a hill top garden opposite the Jejuri mountain. I personally liked this method of providing information. The information board provides basic details about the birds found near the garden area.
I feel such information boards should be part of all big gardens/parks. This will definitely create awareness and interest about the avian life. Atleast, our next generation will start recognising different birds with their names. Let’s start this initiative in whatever way we can 🙂
Happy Birding 🙂
Here are some of photos of those information boards.

What you said is the sorry state of affairs actually…that we dont know which trees are in our neighbourhood? As for the birds, beyond the knowledge of the crows, pigeons, parrots and sparrows, we hardly have any information about the birds dwelling on these trees.
Good gesture by the forest department / muncipality of Jejuri to have come up with such an idea of sharing information.
I have spotted such boards providing information about the trees and birds at Airoli and Sanjay Gandhi National Park.
Hope the boards are maintained well…

It is nice to know that such boards are already available at Airoli and SGNP. But just imagine, if such boards are placed in other areas of city where birds are found. Areas such as Byculla, Sewri, Powai, Bandup, Thane and many more. The impact of creating birds awareness will be more.
Really appreciate your comments on this post 🙂

And that in a temple? So nice.
You are right we could have more of these information boards. Why have them in Zoos and Botanical gardens alone?!
Let’s hope that this suggestion of yours gets heard.
Sachin Baikar
Dee, the mentioned boards are not in the temple premises. These are placed on a hill top garden which is opposite to the Jejuri mountain.
Thanks for your views. Appreciate the same 🙂

Lovely bird pictures with information!
Great initiative indeed.
There is a lot that we need to know. Also kids can be made aware and such initiatives can help build their knowledge and responsibility.
We must respect nature.
