Birds 10 - Nilagiri Wood Pigeon Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Birds 10 - Nilagiri Wood Pigeon
This member of the pigeon family
larger than the domestic pigeons
is an endangered species, found
albeit rarely, in the deciduous forests
on the hills of Western Ghats in Kerala.
This beautiful frugivorous bird
is on the verge of extinction, due to
destruction of it's natural habitats
and large scale felling of trees
resulting in shortage of it's natural food.
A victim of human greed!
It is always a pleasure for me to share a new poem on PoemHunter, for the expectation of a few words of wisdom from Dillipji (Dr Dillip K Swain) enthuses me. Thank You, dear poet.
Immense gratitude to you, Dillipji for the kind words of appreciation. Thank You
