The region attracted a variety of birds because it was dotted with small lakes that acted as feeding grounds for the birds.

They knew that the bird droppings in the water created guano which acted as fertilizer. Towards the end of the 18th century local villagers complained to the collector of Chengalpet Lionel Palace, about the British soldiers shooting the birds. They demanded and obtained a 'Cowle' from the collector (Mr Place, Collector of Chingleput 1796-1798) to protect the birds. In 1936 the collector officially recognized the lake as a sanctuary. In 1962 it was given the legal status of reserved forest under the Madras Forest Act.

Hi friends,
Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary is a 30-hectare protected area located in the Chengalpattu District.
Migrant birds usually start their long journey with small sticks in their beaks, so that they can take a rest on the stick floating on the waves. After coming ashore, they leave their sticks on the seaside and roam around for months.
Hope you are like this video and Let me know your feedback through comments.
