Panu Behera: The Man behind the conservation of Peacocks

On 5th April, 2016, We were going to Mundli for the survey of flora and fauna as well as to feel the charm of Birds of Mundli. On the way, suddenly, we saw a flock of Peacocks and we were on cloud nine and took out our cameras. We captured some photos of peacocks. After 2 minutes an old man came to us and greeted. We asked him about the peacocks and he started to tell us a story. Usually he feeds them "Gulgula". We appeal that, if anyone  passes through the Mundli-Naraj Road, please stay a moment and generously provide a helping hand  for the conservation of peacocks.
