Species of extinct birds in Bastar

There is a meditation on the species of extinct birds in Bastar. Call it a climate or outline biodiversity. Various types of colorful birds are found in the forests of Bastar, which are attractive and beautiful. Some of these are also migratory birds of the country and states, and in every golden season the flight is likely to be fixed, hence the special season of birds is spring. Many species have been extinct from Bastar, some are on the verge. Birds of sparrows or dove? There will be different species of pigeon birds, but two in circulation. A native pigeon second wild pigeon, possibly the name of the wild pigeon from Bastar is also anonymous. There was a time when the Kanger Valley of Bastar was the first biosphere reserve of Asia, today it is the national park of the country.

(During the tour, when I asked the name of this bird from a tribe house, I was told that it is a wild pigeon, and then I took it out, two birds are playing two postmen. There are also many songs on birds in Bollywood.)
