Testimonials

"Before this event, I never paid much attention to the birds around our school. But today, with the binoculars and the bird sheet, I learned to look closer. We found a Red-vented Bulbul!It was amazing to see how quickly it flew away. Now, I feel like I’m a detective who knows how to spot our local birds. It makes our school campus feel like a special jungle!"

Young participant from Jamnagar, Gujarat

The children and parents enjoyed the walk as well as learning about birds’ habitats, feathers, and behaviours. Some parents appreciated the fact that a crow was given as much importance as a hornbill

Thank you for this opportunity Advay enjoyed the quiz as many other bird enthusiasts. The journey of the Young Birders’ Month initiative is really fascinating and informative. Looking forward to many existing events. Kudos to entire team

Chaithra, Participant’s parent

We conducted a campus birdwatching walk and we spotted several common birds, and the most exciting moment was seeing the Spotted Owlet up close. The children were incredibly thrilled and there was no stopping their wows and beaming smiles.

Angeline Mano M, Event Host

Students were so amazed to see so much diversity in their own school’s backyard that they decided to take birdwatching seriously and document these birds as part of their academic projects.

One of the most delightful moments was when they began imitating bird calls in their tiny voices, trying to guess how different birds might communicate in the wild - a scene that melted everyone’s hearts!”
