A six-storey building in Jaipur, Rajasthan, has been constructed exclusively for birds. The initiative was undertaken by the members of Pinjara Pol Goshala in the capital city.
The tower can accommodate close to 2,000 birds at a time. Pictures of the beautiful birdhouse were shared on Twitter by news agency ANI. In the images, one can see the structure standing tall with multiple small gate-like openings, where birds can rest.
Speaking to the news agency, R Vijayvargiya, a Pinjara Pol Goshala member, said, “It can shelter about 2,000 birds at a time.” When asked about how they came up with such an idea, he added. “Today, people live in huge buildings but they forget about birds, which is why we came up with this.”

Some pointed out that planting trees would have been a better option.

Exactly trees would have been better as it's old school proven n testified method for housing birds.

Citing the possible reason behind this tower, a user said, “Maybe in Jaipur, you can't get large land for trees. Hence, this idea.”
