Udaipur Bird Festival: A Chance to Adore and Explore Nature

Udaipur Bird Festival is an annual event that provides a platform for bird lover to gather information and observe various species of birds. Usually, it’s carried out for 3 days; this iteration of the program is going to be grand and bigger than the previous installments.

This time around, the event will offer bird lovers a chance to explore various bird species and gather information about them through a contest of bird race.

In this competition, 6 teams each having 5 members will be formed and will be handed over a manual, a booklog and a vehicle. The teams will be heading towards the major water bodies spread around 40 km radius of the city to spot different species of birds.

Each team will be required to note down the details in the book log and submit the collected data to the juries by the end of the day. The team with maximum information on bird species will be declared as the winner.

Besides, there will be seminars, photo exhibition, photography contest, and workshops disseminating valuable information. There will also be competitions for kids and activities like bird watching and on spot photography.

The event is a gentle reminder to make the mankind aware of the beauty and importance of the creatures. Birds are important for our ecosystem and hence they must be preserved and taken care of.
