Abandoning Breeding Protection Rights 
10,000 Birds

Paving of the road across the Reva Pond started and was abandoned several months later: only the sidewalk was paved. Protection of the area is far more important than my personal birding needs (my birding obsession, to be honest, addiction even). Yet, the site is quite ruined. I feel pretty good, really.

Tragically, I never saw any birds near the nest later on – I guess they abandoned it, decided to quit procreating, or just got eaten by some other bird or cat.

This is a cruise like no other, full of scientific lectures, over forty guides spread out on deck, bird-themed parties, and a lights-off mandate to protect birds at night. I learned of the trip right as it had been delayed and made a vow that I would be on that ship. The marine protected area status was designated in 2013.

Even in protected areas of north-east India, prey densities are very low. Only in protected areas in southern and central India (e.g.

One paper describes them breeding in a human settlement in abandoned clay jars. In fact, given the right chromosomes, hybridization is possible between the two species and has been observed ( source ). Another advantage to ballistic food transport is that the fruit seeds are protected from damage when they are swallowed whole.

We also try to re-nest uninjured baby birds so we don’t interfere with a bird’s breeding cycle. A parent bird’s instinct to feed and protect their young is very strong, and they will not willingly abandon their babies. Putting a baby bird back in its nest is not always the right thing to do.
