I often wander along protected mangroves near palm Beach area in Nerul West and happen to watch hundreds of birds living in vegetation. Ours is a green area with lot of water bodies, vegetation and relatively free of pollution. I have grown 7 - 8 trees in front of our house and generally wake up in morning by chirps of sparrows. Life would be miserable without their chirpy music. We would love to share experience with as many people as are willing.
