Birds of Songtsen Library

April 5, 2010

Thanks India Addict… for providing the photos of the birds of Songtsen Library.
I was told that the birds mistook the sky reflected in glass of the Library and mess hall windows and flew right into them. That accounts for the many bumps you see on the head of the birds around Dehra Dun.
A kind lady [...]
