Assam's State Bird Faces Extinction Crisis

The white-winged wood duck, also known as Deo Hah, is Assam's state bird.

It is a large, shy bird with white wings and a brown body.

It lives in quiet freshwater pools inside dense forests.

Unfortunately, this bird is in big trouble.

Many years ago, it was common in Assam's forests, but now it is very hard to find.

The main reasons are that people are cutting down trees, destroying wetlands, and building things in the forests.

There are also oil rigs that disturb the bird's home.

Experts are worried because they don't know how many of these ducks are left.

They believe the duck lives in only two protected areas now.

The bird needs urgent help to survive, and people need to know more about it to protect it.
