The calls of birds <br />Of hues varied <br />lull all to sleep. <br />Vedanthangal(Shelter of the Hunters) , <br />the rain fed tank, <br />is the haven for <br />Cormorants, <br />the Night Herons, <br />the Darters, Ducks <br />Grey Pelicans <br />and the Moor Hens…. <br /> <br />Birds from continents diverse <br />nest on the Kadamba Trees, <br />feed, breed and fly around, <br />dip in water, catch fish <br />and hop to the trees in glee. <br /> <br />O, that sadist hurls a fish above <br />and takes it back within its bills! <br />The world of birds has a lot to teach. <br />The black, white and grey birds perch side by side. <br /> <br />Birds, plants and animals <br />give man his essential needs. <br />But he cuts their throats to fill his bellies. <br /> ---<br /><br />rajendran muthiah<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-bird-sanctuary-vedanthangal-tamilnadu-india/
