In the winter, the birds flock to India and Pune, with its cool climate attracts lot of them. But in recent time the number of birds coming to city is fast dwindling. They were seen in hundreds at the riverside but both Mula and Mutha rivers of Pune have turned into little more than a nallah. So these creatures have no place to go now. This time, even winter has not showed its presence in the sorrounding.
The environment status report of Pune Municipal Corporation has stated that the number of birds on trees is reduced because most of the trees in PMC's gardens are foreign. They do not fit in in the natural habitat of the environment. Birds coming from other countries go to Veer or Bhigwan dam besides city. But these sites have also noted less birds in the last few years.
According to observations made by bird watchers, number of crows, kites and Black wings Stilt has gone up in recent years pointing to the increasing filth at riverside. The environmentalist say this is a bad sign for the ecological balance of the city.
