00:00From October to February is the month of rosy coolness.
00:05At this time, Banaras is full of foreign guests.
00:08In these foreign guests, if we talk about the number of parakeets
00:11or if we talk about the Siberian birds coming from the seven seas,
00:16Banaras is full of their colors.
00:19And to see them, far-reaching parakeets reach the Ganga Ghats of Banaras.
00:25These birds play with the waters of the Ganga River,
00:30which is a different attraction to watch.
00:33And this is the reason that a large number of people
00:36reach the Ghats of Banaras in the morning and evening and see them.
00:40But this time, these foreign guests have not reached Banaras in their own way.
00:45Their number is very less.
00:48You must be seeing the pictures too,
00:50the number of these foreign guests is very less in Banaras and the Ganga River.
00:55Every year, these foreign guests reach the Ganga Ghats of Banaras in lakhs.
01:00And they lay eggs on the sand, raise children,
01:04and then they leave here in the month of February-March.
01:08But this time, their number is very less.
01:11According to the B.H.U. parakeet scientist,
01:15the climate is a major reason behind the decrease in the number of foreign guests.
01:20Along with this, these birds come from Israel and other places.
01:24And the situation of war in Israel, there is bombardment there.
01:28Due to the noise, pollution and pollution there,
01:32these birds have changed their way this time.
01:35These birds have come to different parts of the country, not only in Banaras.
01:39Every year, they have more than 300 species.
01:42This time, these species have definitely come, but in a very small number.
01:47In the next week...
01:49And...
01:50And in that, it will also happen that people will be aware that if you also...
01:55I fed the parrot and started this.
01:58Because there is a very high roof in our university.
02:02These birds come from far away like guests.
02:06And there are obstacles in between to stop them.
02:09It has become difficult for them to cross these obstacles.
02:13One is the situation of war.
02:16And the second is the lack of coolness in the Siberian conditions.
02:21Then their numbers are increasing or not?
02:26And can they come from so far away or not?
02:29This is also a very big question mark.
02:32And their numbers are decreasing day by day.
02:35They are coming not only for war or for the environment,
02:39but also because of their eggs.
02:43The number of birds has decreased.
02:46And their new companions who used to come here,
02:50for their investigations,
02:52that we will get a place here for breeding or not,
02:55their number has decreased.
02:57Otherwise, all the travelers who come to us in Bharatpur,
03:02or Ganga,
03:06all of them have come,
03:08but their number is very less.
03:10There is a change in the route.
03:12There is a question of more capacity and less capacity here.
03:19Where they have to apply less capacity,
03:23they are going to such places more.
03:26For this, we have recovered many ponds.
03:30It has been seen that these ponds have also become a breeding ground for them.
03:35Along with this, he said that the grains given to these birds by the local people here,
03:41are also very dangerous for their health.
03:44That is why it is repeatedly appealed that the birds should be allowed to eat fish only.
03:48They should not be given any external goods.
03:51The Ganga of Kashi and the small fish swimming in it,
03:56this is their food.
03:58If not this year, then definitely next year.
04:01For many years, people have been refusing me,
04:04all the people who ask me,
04:06that the food of birds is burger,
04:08and grains, and such things,
04:11this is not bread.
04:12Their food is fish,
04:14which flows in the river of our Ganga,
04:17they like to swim in it and eat it.
04:20But if you just give them a piece of bread,
04:24then it is harmful for their stomach.
04:27And it is so harmful,
04:29that we have found a large number of them dead.
04:34It can be said that the Ganga Ghat of Banaras,
04:37which was seen as a separate portrait of beauty in these months,
04:43this time it is very less.
04:45This time the number of foreign guests is less.
04:48And these foreign guests are seen coming less,
04:51making the tour of Banaras empty.
