Noida: Some bird observers from Noida have reported seeing Nasar Egyptians, endangered species in the International Union for natural conservation (IUCN) red list.
Vürdian Egypt, which previously represented royalties in Egyptian culture, was known to use tools such as small stones, which they lift them using their beak, then cracked the ostrich egg opened with a strong swing and neck.
Narinder Kohli, a wildlife photographer from Noida who saw Egypt’s hering last week, said that these birds were not a rare sight in the region.
“Last week, I saw an Egyptian hiering from the balcony of my apartment located in the 137 sector Kohli said.
Kohli remembers that the Egyptian Nasar bird was the first species seen by Birders while entering Keoladoo National Park in Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, Rajasthan, which is three hours away from Noida.
“There is an open area with dried trees near the park entrance, appointed to dispose of dead animal carcasses, and the Egyptian nasar used to hand over the place,” Kohli said.
Sanctuary Bird Bharatpur is 181 kilometers from Noida.
TK Roy, an ecologist, claimed to have seen 53 Egyptian nasal birds in October 2021 on a sandy island in the middle of the Yamuna River.
“The sandy archipelago in Yamuna is a place for this nasar to get isolation because there are no dogs or humans visit these areas,” Roy said.
The number of Egyptian nasal increased in various parts of the country, said Roy, added that they shifted from their previous habitat in the wildlife area and in trees to urban areas to find food.
“Because of climate change, many animals and birds change their food and nesting habits.
We pay attention to the same trend in this nasar species.
In Noida, the Nasar Egyptians generally nest in large electrical poles when they develop at garbage disposal that offers a variety of food varieties From the locals.
That is why there are many Nasar birds around Ghazipur landfill, “he said.
Mukund Kumar, another birder, said, “Egypt’s Nasar Bird Habitat still requires a lot of protection and attention from the authorities so that this species can develop in the Delhi-NCR region.” Parha Guheh, a resident of Lotus Panache in Sector 110 who saw Egypt’s Hering behind his community last year, also said that the number of Egyptian Nasar birds had increased after the first appearance.
Divisional Forest Officer Pramar Kumar Srivastava said, “It seems they like this habitat.
We can find a security plan in the future if a fairly large number is recorded.”
