Delhi's Nest Man Holds A Record Of Making 1.25 Lakh Nests All Over The Country!

The chirping of birds have a soothing effect on the soul, but the shor of the city has drowned their voices and the urban jungles have stolen their home. But we just heard about this gentleman who’s saving birds with one nest at a time!

‘Cause Dilli Hai Dilwalo Ki! | Rakesh Khatri has been popularly recognised as the ‘Nest Man’ and as the name suggests, his initiative is about providing homes to birds. This Delhi resident started his journey of saving birds by building them houses from eco-friendly material and now his hard work has garnered attention and appreciation from people who are interested in helping him with this noble cause. Did you know his first attempt where he used coconut shells to make a nest actually failed? Yep, no birds were ready to make a home in these shells and so this motivated him to continue to experiment with materials that would be suitable for birds.

Now, he uses bamboo sticks, jute threads and even husks to make nests. He holds the record of making 1.25 lakhs nest for birds all over India which have bestowed the name of nest man on him. Plus, he has also been awarded a place in the Limca Book Of Records for the highest number of workshops conducted to teach participants ‘How To Make A Nest’, throughout the country. He runs an organisation called Eco Roots Foundation that conducts these workshops all across India and it’s the work by people like him who continue to restore our faith in humanity.

We are definitely intrigued and would love to be a part of this initiative, how ‘bout you?!
