Heavenly Creatures in a Concrete Jungle

Shawkat Ripon

Crowded concrete structures deprive city dwellers of nature's most precious gift – birds. But hiding within the concrete jungle are patches of greenery where these heavenly creatures reside. Sometimes if one is lucky enough, it is possible to spot a bird colouring the background with its exquisite beauty.
