Thattekad Bird Sanctuary, Bird sanctuary in Kerala, India.
The 25-square-kilometer reserve contains marshlands, grasslands, and tropical evergreen forests near the Periyar River, hosting over 500 bird species.
Indian ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali conducted extensive bird studies in this area during the 1950s, leading to the sanctuary's establishment in 1983.
The sanctuary functions as a research station where scientists document and study local and migratory birds throughout different seasons.
Visitors can access observation towers and walking trails between October and March when bird populations reach their maximum numbers.
The sanctuary houses the Ceylon Frogmouth, an unusual nocturnal bird species that remains motionless during daylight hours to mimic tree branches.
