Dr Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji is not a bird collector who takes pleasure in depriving precious birds, but is simply an honest man who wishes to save endangered birds. Threatened, injured and abandoned all over the world so that they can live … that is why he is called the King of the Birds.
Mr. Swamiji, founder of Avadhoota Datta Peetham Monastery, living in Mysuru, India, said it was difficult to know when he had a crush on birds. He was born and raised on the edge of Mekedattu Forest, on the banks of the Cauvery River, and from an early age he spent most of his time observing and observing the many birds that took refuge in the trees surrounding his house.
But it is worth mentioning that after the accident in 2011, Mr. Swamiji suddenly realized that his life purpose is to help birds, especially those at risk of being abandoned, to save birds from them. more and more. Possible, so he built 21 acres of land. (~ 8.5 hectares) bird garden in Mysuru forest.
Recently, Dr. Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji was entered in the Guinness Book of Records for raising and supporting the highest number of birds in the house with 468 species.

Mr. Sri Swamiji believes that birds are vital to human survival, and he often calls for an end to deforestation and better treatment of birds.
Dr. Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji shared: When we see someone smiling at us, we immediately respond with a smile, because then we perceive and perceive because we are the same species. may not be of the same language, culture, or ethnicity. But we don’t do the same thing with animals, birds, reptiles, or insects.
Yet a parrot always receives and responds to all that the world around it naturally expresses, regardless of species. It sympathizes with everything it comes into contact with, and responds by trying to mimic the sound of the other party.
Through this story, many of us will startled to look back at the human lifestyle in today’s society. Indifference, indifference to the misfortune and pain of others has turned into a frighteningly contagious disease. It causes people to lose their conscience, and moral qualities.
Life is very short, so each of us needs to live according to ethical standards, empathy, and love for those around us. That will be the medicine to completely eradicate this anesthetic disease
