But many of us unknowingly make enemies with birds Destroy the bird's habitat We are cutting down trees, destroying wetlands, destroying the environment of beel-haor-baor, as a result of which birds are losing their habitat.

Migratory birds are more common in Bangladesh in winter Of these, more than 7 ducks and storks
