Dr. Salim Ali,
one of the greatest ornithologists and naturalists of all time, is also known as the “birdman of India”. He was one of the very first scientists to carry out systematic bird surveys in India and abroad. His research work is considered highly influential in the development of ornithology.
Today is Dr. Salim Alis Birth Anniversary I'm dedicating my Poem to him.
Save Me!
A little voice said,
Don't let me go on my deathbed.
Who am I ? You might ask,
I am a little bird
Spare me!
Don't you hunt me down,
Don't make me fall to the ground.
I want to fly,
High up in the sky
I eat the little things you humans call bugs,
I am not so lucky,
liked poodles and pugs.
I may be dull in colour, or a magnificent blue,
But my family and ancestors,
they all flew.
Our food chain and ecosystem,
all its linked,
Save me my friends!
Don't let me go extinct.
