The Cranes of Khichan Rajasthan India -- from "Deserts: Living in Extremes"

This is a beautiful story about conservation. The Jains of India pay particular respect to all forms of life and are devoted to good works. In the 1970s, one Jain family in the village of Khichan, Rajasthan, began to feed wild birds in their own backyard. Among these birds were beautiful Demoiselle cranes flying south from China and Mongolia in winter. Many of the Jains moved to the city to work but sent back money to be sure the cranes were fed. This act of kindness produced a world class natural history phenomenon....

It's amazing

[@ArunMehtavordhosbn]

This is one of the reasons why Indians need to embrace our own roots, instead of following western culture.

Is it possible to increase the quantity of water in the village pond for the birds. 2.Remove barbed wire between the two plots feeding the birds and replace with non harming plastic wire

[@dineshambaliya1905]

Beautiful birds but we have to protect our mungfali/peanut farms from these cranes in Saurashtra Gujarat.

[@GildaTabarez]

I'm sorry to hear that. It's so sad that such a beautiful, compassionate act as feeding birds can have negative repercussions. Even here in San Francisco we are now being told not to put bird feeders out because they are spreading salmonella amongst the song bird population. Such a cruel world! The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

[@harlivsingh5003]

Birds stay there till when ?

[@GildaTabarez]

The cranes arrive in October and leave in March.
