Torrid time for birds with inclement weather
It is torrid time for birds with heavy rain.
To begin with it is cold and food (fruits) is scare.
The sunshine is essential for flowers to bloom and fruits to be abundant. It is not so.
The mulberry fruits that are left in the single mulberry tree in our little garden, are not enough to last the prolong rain.
I begin to hate the rain and wish for 10 days of sunshine for flowers to bloom again which is very unlikely.
The flowers that bloomed including pomegranate did not yield fruits.
It was so with the palm tree which bloomed after many years of lapse.
The birds are in near starvation.
The little energy they consume is wasted in drying up the feathers and grooming.
The young batch of babblers, flinch, bulbul, robins and barbet are the most effected.
The robin comes and catch few of my guppies in the morning.
They are in the veranda to escape from the rain.
They cannot stay, all day there.
They need bit of chirp, chatter and wandering a bit in the sunshine.
If this goes on for long lot of them will die of starvation.
I do not believe in throwing spoiled rice containing arsenic that damage their ovaries and the eggs.
Bread is no substitute.
They need fruits with high energy.
Beside they spread the seeds and help them germinate with one pass in their alimentary system.
This inclement weather which I believe, the end result of global warming (oil the spoiler) and melting ice will destroy the whole eco-system in a few years.
We will not hear the robins and mynas singing in the morning and afternoon (any longer, if this continues).
