Second edition of the Goa Bird Festival to be organised from January 12th to 14th

The State Forest Department of Goa with the support of Goa Tourism and two other organisations are going to host the second edition of the Goa Bird Festival from January 12 to 14 at the Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary in Canacona.
Although a destination popular for the sea and its beaches, only a few keen travellers and birdwatchers are aware that Goa is home to more than 440 different species of birds alone, out of a total of around 1,200 species living in India.

Some of the bird species are endemic to the state itself because Goa has a unique blend of marine life and tropical forests, two diverse ecosystems thriving together in one place.
While the country’s most renowned naturalists, photographers, and artists will act as resources for the festival, interesting bird walks are also being planned in both Cotigao, and Netravali Wildlife Sanctuaries, in the company of experts and guides.


Apart from all this, there will be a special tour for viewing the oceanic birds on the Arabian Sea.

For those who really love birds, this bird festival of Goa will also host several engaging discussions and debates on various topics regarding birds. Also, there will be a number of lectures given out by leading experts having a strong knowledge of this field.

Being organised at a time when it is a suitable to visit Goa, this bird festival might add as something new about the otherwise popular beach destination that tourists from all parts can experience.
