Not just from cats and predators, but from environmental factors as well. Climate change, in particular, is taking a big toll on birds as per the recent report from the National Audubon Society.”

Appreciating the efforts taken by the Trust under the presidentship of Mahant Rohit Shastri in summers, Zorawar Singh Jamwal detailed the students that “we all have to save the natural resources of water. Moreover, for feeding birds what we have to do is to hang bowls on the balconies and on our roofs and all common areas of our houses, we must make it a point to put out a bowl of water for them to drink on daily basis. Togetherly, we must do something such as this which would benefit the birds. These small acts are a mark of our true humanity and we must all learn to do such acts of spiritual and social merit. I hope that you all will share this message and make an attempt to act upon it”.
