Mysore :

‘Shukavana’ (Rehabilitation Centre for Birds) has come up at the premises of Sri Ganapathy Ashram on Ooty Road here.

The aviary was inaugurated by Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji yesterday.

More than 1000 birds of about 300 species are kept and being nurtured in the aviary. Over a couple of decades, injured birds were being nursed and nurtured by the Swamiji at the Ashram. Now the modern and scientifically crafted aviary will be a safe haven for thousands of birds. Speaking on the occasion, the Swamiji said humans should have concern and love for birds which represent nature. He advised the people not to disturb or harm birds.

Raja Segranm, General Manager, Jurong Bird Park, Singapore, who was present, regretted that human bondage was dwindling with words like love, friendship and mercy turning misnomers. He commended the work of Sri Swamiji in establishing an aviary. Addl. PCCF Ajay Mishra, Feather Friends Forever-USA Founder Ronald Johnson and others were present.
