Symbol Of Love And Inspiration.                              he species is venerated in India and legend has it that Valmiki cursed a hunter for killing a Sarus Crane and was then inspired to write the epic Ramayana.

Note:- However today less than 20,000 adults are remaining globally and half of it are present in India. They are classified under “Vulnerable” which means that the population has declined by a third since 1980. If steps are not taken fast by our Govt. then this great bird might be extinct by 2020 .

Origin of the Phoenix One bird that the legend is believed to be derived from is the FLAMINGO , who will nest on salt flats that are too hot for a flamingo chick nor its egg to survive. Instead, the flamingo builds a nest that is above this causing a very unique convection effect that is similar to that of the convection of a flame. The flamingoes family name in the scientific world is Phoenicopteridai, which is derived from the more generic word, Phoenicopterus which means Phoenix-winged.     Note :- The Phoenix is a mythological bird known throughout all cultures and all ages. It is immortal in that is constantly being reborn from ashes, living 500 to 1000 years at a time. Feel Free To Post Your Suggestions - Keep Commenting
