The corporation has organized a two-day Bird Walk at the Botanical Garden in Hyderabad on Saturday and Sunday (February 8 and 9, 2025). A total of 55 bird watchers and bird enthusiasts from various parts of Hyderabad participated in the walk.
They were divided into two groups: one group was sent to ‘Vriksha Parichaya Kshetram’ spread on 94 acres and the other group was sent to ‘Virtual Wildlife Safari Park Conservation Zone’. Over the course of the two days, four bird experts, Aparanjani, Manoj, Thomson, and Abdul Raheem led the groups. They guided the participants in identifying the birds, explaining the scientific and common names of the birds, their habits, and behavior.
The participants were also provided with the ‘Birds Pocket Guide’ developed by TGFDC. The participants used the pocket guide to identify the birds they spotted. The experts demonstrated how to observe birds, how to identify them, and the sounds different birds make.
