  1. Indian grey mongoose playing at our backyard #ifornature : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOJrDo9TzIY The Indian grey mongoose is a mongoose species mainly found in West Asia and on the Indian subcontinent. The video is documented on 24/aug/2019, from the backyard of I For Nature society at my residence. There is a healthy family of 8 members of Indian grey mongoose that mainly sustains its life from the food collected from garbage dump yards. We are trying our best to preserve and maintain this place and to keep on providing food for them. I intentionally kept the original sound of the video so that my viewers can listen to the calls of different birds, including Black kite, Asian Palm Swift, Scaly Breasted Munia, Myna, Jungle Myna, Parakeets, etc.
  2. Blue Throated Barbet (Megalaima asiatica) feeding on Kadamba Flower (Neolamarckia cadamba) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCJOqoiEpZI. 
      

  3. Releasing butterflies ( captively cultured): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnlRD9ulkhA The caterpillars are cultured in ambient conditions and are taken care of till they pupate....post ecdysis the butyerflies are released.....its a visual treat to watch them fly...and an enormous satisfaction.
  4. Feeding a Rounded Palm-redeye Butterfly (Erionota torus) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Km2U3KILh0. Hand feeding a Rounded Palm-redeye Butterfly  (Erionota torus). 5 ml of water was mixed with a pinch of table salt and sugar. Butterflies have chemo-sensors on their feet, so as soon as the legs touch the solution, it uncoils its proboscis and starts sucking the solution.
