Welcome to the Bird Podcast — hosted by Shoba Narayan. 

This podcast will focus largely on birds, specifically on Indian birds with occasional global forays.

India is home to some 1200 bird species, amongst the highest in the world. This podcast showcases and highlights our feathered friends

We will talk to naturalists and birders about common and special birds such as the Greater Coucal, Himalayan Quail, Nilgiri Flycatcher, the Malabar Trogon, the Great Indian Bustard, and other amazing species.

We will highlight issues both old and new.  About India's vanishing forests and wetlands and how it impacts birds.  About breeding areas of migratory birds and how they are hunted en route. We will speak to the men and women who successfully saved the Amur Falcon from being massacred in Nagaland. And we will do individual podcasts on bird species of India.
