Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s haphazard tree trimming and pruning has resulted in birds’ nests being exposed on the road opposite the BMC headquarters. Activists and bird experts are now demanding that tree trimming be conducted under the supervision of experts.
Yogesh Patel, a bird expert and post graduate in zoology, said, “Experts can suggest an instant solution to save birds’ nests. Mostly crows’ nests are affected by this kind of harsh tree trimming. As they are very common birds their nests are ignored during trimming,” Patel added. He said, “But every bird is important to the ecosystem. Crows work as scavengers.”
