Meet ‘the birdman’ Harsukh Bhai
who feeds thousands of birds daily
Harsukh Bhai, a resident of
Junagadh district of Gujarat, was just a common man before he decided to
dedicate his life for a cause which may sound bit strange for many. Fondly
referred as ‘the birdman’, Harsukh Bhai, who is in his 70s, is today known for
his noble work of feeding thousands of birds daily.
From last 17 years, everyday
around 10,000 birds including sparrows visit Harsukh Bhai’s house. It all
started in 2000 when Harsukh Bhai met with an accident and had a fracture in
his leg. While he was resting at his home to recover from injury, one of his
friends got some pearl millet from his farm. Harshukh Bhai hung one of these
cobs on his balcony and this was the turning point in his life. Harshukh Bhai’s
this act attracted a parrot and gradually their number increased. This made him
feel to do something more for these birds.
Few days later, he realised that
there was not enough space in balcony to feed the birds. Harsukh Bhai then got
some old pipes, drilled holes in them and fixed the pearl millet cobs allowing
the birds feed on it comfortably.
