Bird flu & “Goobre Shalik”
We live in Joar Shahara, Dhaka Cantonment. My residence has quite a number of trees where every day various birds namely, Bulbuli, Shalik, Tuntuni, Doyel, Kobutor etc flock together.
In the present bird flu condition the number of birds has fallen significantly except for Goobre Shalik. They still gather as before in good numbers here and there as if they are unaffected.
This could be a noticeable point for the researchers that Goobre Shaliks are not being affected by bird flu like other species. This information may be of some help to find antidotes against bird flu.
