POST EVENT SUMMARY :
On February 4, 2023, a captivating event titled the “Bird Walk” took place at Siruvangur Village in Kallakurichi District. This event, orchestrated by the Kuyili Organization, aimed to connect participants with the avian residents of the area and impart valuable insights into the world of birds.
Siruvangur Village, with its natural beauty and proximity to the environment, served as the perfect backdrop for this event. The focal point of the event was a visit to Siruvangur Lake, a local habitat that attracts a diverse array of bird species. Ten enthusiastic students participated in this engaging activity, demonstrating their curiosity and eagerness to learn.
Guided from the Kuyili Organization, the participants embarked on a bird walk around the lake. During this excursion, the students actively identified various bird species, gaining hands-on experience in birdwatching. The event facilitated the learning of common bird names, characteristics, and behaviors, enriching the participants’ understanding of the avian world.
Beyond the enjoyment of observing birds in their natural habitat, the event also addressed critical environmental concerns. The participants were educated about the detrimental impact of plastic waste on the environment, particularly on bird habitats. This awareness-raising component added depth to the event, encouraging participants to consider the broader implications of their actions on nature.
The collaborative effort between the Kuyili Organization and the students exemplified the power of experiential learning and community engagement. By actively participating in the bird walk, the students not only expanded their knowledge of local biodiversity but also developed a heightened sense of responsibility towards nature.
