Watch: 75-YO Spends Rs 20 Lakh to Build a ‘Bungalow for Birds’

Bhagvanji Rupapara was inspired by small birdhouses to build a unique contraption for his feathered friends.

Gujarat native Bhagvanji spent Rs 20 lakh to make this birdhouse, or rather a bird bungalow, which is 140 feet long, 70 feet wide and 40 feet high.

He used his land and money to create this gigantic birdhouse.

It was done to provide a safe shelter for birds and protect them from harmful weather conditions. The house was built on a riverbank with over 2,500 earthen pots customised just for this purpose.

Bhagavanji also ensures that no trespassers harm the birds. He is a lover of nature and believes all living beings must be treated equally.

Apart from the shelter, the 75-year-old provides food and water to these birds. Thousands of birds are found here enjoying the space and shelter made by this compassionate human.
