There is an excited chirrup in the air amongst bird watchers across Kerala as they gear up to celebrate the birthday of the bird man of India, Dr. Salim Ali, on November 11. His birthday falls on November 12. Most of us like watching colourful birds but there was one man who was so involved in their study that he was nicknamed 'The Birdman of India'. This man also known as the 'Grand Old Man of Indian Ornithology' is Salim Ali.
