    7 things you must do in your garden in order to attract garden birds

    Gardens full of birds mean a healthy ecosystem, as well. Besides their lovely songs and vibrant colors, birds perform an array of services for the ecosystem, such as pest reduction, pollination, and increasing biodiversity. However, bird attraction requires more effort than planting a few green plants in the garden. As professionals point out, the best way to attract birds consists in providing food, water, safe places to hide, and places for nesting. By adding several items to the garden, it can become a great place for various birds to visit all year round.

    9 iconic snakes of India's Western and Eastern Ghats

    The Western and Eastern Ghats are among India's richest landscapes for reptile diversity. Stretching across peninsular India, these mountain ranges shelter everything from giant pythons and king cobras to brilliantly coloured pit vipers found nowhere else on Earth. The Western Ghats, a global biodiversity hotspot, are particularly renowned for their endemic snake species that have evolved in isolation within ancient rainforests. The Eastern Ghats, meanwhile, support a fascinating mix of forest, scrubland, and rocky-hill species adapted to a wide variety of habitats. Together, these mountain systems offer a glimpse into the incredible diversity of India's serpentine world. Here are 9 of the most iconic snakes that call the Ghats home.
