It all started 10 years ago, when Sekhar started putting some rice and grains on the boundary of his house. Many birds, squirrels and other creatures would come and enjoy their meal.

But one day, during the horrific Tsunami in Chennai, Sekhar saw two parrots sitting on his house parapet wall. Since then, Sekhar’s house has become a regular spot for these parrots, and they come here every day.

Today, Sekhar feeds over 2,000 parrots every day. Sometimes, their number even reaches 4,000!
