Siberian Birds Arrive Early at Perungulam Wetlands

Siberian Birds Arrive Early at Perungulam Wetlands

Birds that travel long distances to find food and a safe place to rest, called migratory birds, have arrived earlier than usual at a special wetland in Perungulam village, Thoothukudi district, Tamil Nadu.

These birds come from places like Siberia and are seen by people who love nature and birds.

The wetland is unique because it has water and food for the birds even when other nearby water bodies have dried up.

However, the edges of the wetland are getting damaged, which makes it hard for small birds to find food.

People who study and care about birds are asking the government to protect this important place.
