Gulls a beautiful friendly Bird

Writing Blogs on Cricket has become rather a boring affairs with the introduction of New T20 Cricket particularly the IPL which is gradually &surely ruining the Traditional Test Cricket which was being enjoyed by the world hitherto especially Australia,England,India,NewZealand,West Indies,Pakistan&Srilanka as a matter of National Pride It was Australia,in fact, who first introduced the controversial Packer Series which slowly attracted the attention of other cricket playing Nations one after another.So as a matter of relief from Cricket ,I am planning to switch over to other interesting topics after the visit of Australians to India This is an attempt to begin with, a topic concerning beautiful Gulls. Gulls are beautiful friendly Birds,There are many a variety ofGulls all over the World.Gulls are migrant seasonal Birds.Alhough they are very friendly birds,they are not for men/women to tame &make pet birds. Perhaps,one could infer the reason for this peculiar nature.They migrate from place to place during seasons.When So they can not remain at one place for the reason that when Winter becomes very severe they can not remain there&will have to fly to warmer places.Now think about Caged birds.After all birds are free to fly all over the World.It is rather cruelm pleasure to keep them in a cage for one's pleasure to watch them.Those who are happy in deriving cruel pleasure at the expense of others might think on these lines.In fact Parrots are friendly&can be tamed.No one could say he/she does notlike watching& feeding Parrots with different kind of fruits.Parrots are fond of Fruits&grains Coming back to Gulls, they are found all over the world especially where sea coast in available. In nations like Australia,Newzealand,Atlantic coast,Curribian sea coast many a varieties of Gulls are found. The migrant birds have selected stop overs all over the world to reach those places regulary according to change in seasons. The state of Kerala in India is one of the many stop overs being selected by Birds like Gulls. Gulls are regular&prompt visitors to the cricket Stadiums all over Australi, NewZealand& even England. Malapuram District is a regular Stop over for migrant Birds&Bird watchers.It is a significant stop over in the Indian Subcontinent for Migrant Birds from Europe& Atlantic Regions. After spotting Blacklegged Kittiwake at Malapuram District as early as inFebruary 2008 the Research Team on Water birds were unable to confirm it's identity despite a series of discussion with The Ornithologists at the Salim Ali Centre for Ornithology &Natural History(SACON) at Coimbatore. The Blacklegged Gulls sighted in Malpuram District were again sighted at Chavakkad near Guruvayur in January 2013. All along there were just 5 occasions earlier when this Blacklegged Gulls were sighted in India. The first occasion was in Morgin Goain January 2005.The second at Kadalundi, in Malapuram District.Alibagh in Maharashtra in November 2012,Majuli.Assam in the same month &year and the final sighting in Chavakkad in February 2013. ARCTIC TERN ************ This is a SeaBird.This beauriful Bird is the one ,Believe it or not, is the bird which flies over 70,900KMs every year seeing 2 Summers in a year as the wonderful Bird flies fro Arctic land to Antarctica &back. It lays it's egg in North Pole.Flies to South Pole&back.The male feeds the chics. Arctic Tern has a life span of 30 Years The food is mainly SmallFish&other Marine vertebrates. So the World of Birds is a field where one could find many an interesting unity&Diversity. SreedharanMundanat 20th February2013 11-30HRS(IST)
