A week-long photography exhibition of rare birds by journalist K. Shivasubramanya was inaugurated at Puttur on Sunday.

Inaugurating the exhibition at Sougandhika, a nursery at Parpunja, poet Subraya Chokkady said the external world became tolerable only because of birds. If there were no birds, the world would have become meaningless, he said.

He has brought birds in his poems while writing about nature, Mr. Chokkady said regretting not many crows were visible near his residence of late. Exhibitions like these would introduce birds to public in general and kids in particular, he said.
