Charity feeds the megacity’s birds
Feeding stations offer seeds and grains to birds and livelihood to those who run them
KARACHI:
The charitable spirit of Karachi’s people has made this coastal city of more than 20 million, one of the most welcoming places in the world despite its many faults. Many who journey to the concrete jungle firmly believe that the city lets no one starve. This is also true for the many species of birds found dotting the coastal skies.
In the past several years, feeding birds has become a popular form of charity in the city. With the passage of time several feeding stations have been set up in various areas and public spaces, where the birds are fed. The effort that goes into feeding the birds has become a source of livelihood for thousands of people who are associated with the running of these stations.
