A city based NGO in association with Rotary.International is on the verge of setting up a series of feeding stations for Kolkata's resident bird population, which includes such species as the Jungle Babbler (Chatare), Oriental Magpie Robin (Doel), Bulbul, Common Mynah (Shalik) and Tailor Bird (Tuntuni). The plan is to dig a large trench in a park. They'll dump vegetable waste from the local market into this trench and mix manure into it. The garbage will be covered up and in two weeks time, maggots and worms will form. The birds will feed on these. Former bird-catchers will be employed to attract the birds to the Parks, because they can imitate most bird-calls.
