Reviews Of Kokkare Bellur Bird Sanctuary
Shivanasamudra, Karnataka, India
Kokkare Bellur is a unique conservation success story where birds and humans live in perfect harmony. The name itself translates to "village of storks" in the local Kannada language. This is not a typical fenced sanctuary; rather, the entire village is a habitat for migratory birds. The Painted Stor ks and Spot-billed Pelicans build their nests on the trees located in the backyards of the villagers. This relationship dates back centuries, with the locals believing that the birds bring good luck and prosperity. The villagers even protect the birds from predators and hunters, creating a safe haven for breeding. The sight of hundreds of large birds perched on tamarind and peepal trees is breathtaking. The air is filled with the calls of the chicks and the flapping of large wings. This sanctuary is globally recognized for its conservation model where community participation is the key. During the nesting season, the village becomes a hub for ornithologists and nature photographers. The birds feed in the nearby Shimsha River and return to the village to care for their young. The guano (bird droppings) is collected by the villagers to be used as a natural, phosphorus-rich fertilizer for their crops. This symbiotic relationship is a beautiful example of ecological balance. Visitors can walk through the narrow lanes of the village and see the nests at eye level from the terraces of local houses. It is a humble yet powerful reminder of how nature can thrive alongside human settlements. The quiet dignity of the village combined with the majestic presence of the birds makes it a must-visit destination.
