According to reports, these winged guests have been migrating to Udaipur during the winter season for the last six-seven years from California owing to extreme weather conditions in their actual habitat.
Locals, however, have alleged that the deaths of migratory birds could be a reaction to pesticides used in the croplands adjacent to the lake.
It may be mentioned here that Tripura’s rich biodiversity makes the state an ideal location for the migratory birds to come and stay during the winter season.
