I would like to share the following information on birds with you. We've seen these birds in our garden in Koswatte almost every day, since September/October 2008.

We attract birds into our garden by offering food trays (mainly fruits, grains and scraped coconut) in three different places in the garden. There's also a tiny, open bird house for them to eat and rest and a place to bathe.
