Exotic bird exhibition begins
Tweets and chirps filled the atmosphere at Platinum Gym in city's Hatirpool yesterday as a unique collection of multi-coloured foreign birds were put up for exhibition.
Dr Abdul Oadud, general secretary of Bangladesh Wildlife Conservation and Rearing Association (BWCRA), organised the exhibition which would continue till Saturday.
He collected these birds from different countries such as Bourke's Parakeet from Australia and Kakariki from New Zealand since 1997.
Later at a discussion, organised by BWCRA, highlighting role of birds in the environment, Oadud placed his “Phycamolli Theory” in which he explained how bird watching, exercise and meditation could keep people healthy.
“If you do all these three it will keep you physically, mentally and spiritually healthy,” he said.
State Minister for Environment and Forest Hasan Mahmud was present as the chief guest with Dhaka University Vice Chancellor Prof Dr AAMS Arefin Siddique as the honoured guest.
