Salim Ali used to publish Indian birds, his stanzas and lecture stages. Salim Ali first took the history of bird culture in India. Throughout the world, the study of birds is also done in India. This incident of turtle has played a key role in becoming a birdwatcher. At the beginning of his life, he used to read hunting related books and at that time his tendency was to hunting. Hunting competition often took place in the neighborhood. One of his victims was Pakistan's first President Iskander Mirza, who himself was a very good hunter.
Although sporadic attempts to describe the characteristics of birds before the Mughal period, they are not very reliable. The real scientific effort started in this matter with the greatness of Babar. According to Salim Ali, Emperor Babur did not make the description of birds by resorting to conventional ideas. He used to have a different approach. Let's give an example. Monal pheasant falls on the foothills of the mountain by passing a long way in the winter. If the team of Fijent goes on top of a vineyard, in the course of the flight, then it becomes unmanned.
Babur writes "God knows the truth about these things. I understand that its meat is quite delicious. "This is an example of Babar's belief that these bizarre words are not. However, Emperor Jahangir raised the knowledge of bird-related knowledge among Mughal emperors. He was told that if he was the head of any natural history museum without being a emperor, he would probably have been happier. It was such a bird's patchwork.
In the Rajasabha, he gave place to the famous painter Ustad Mansur His job was to paint the picture of new birds. Jahangir was interested in all his empire. Even foreigners knew. So, as they came up with attention, the special species of birds in the area. As soon as he reached the emperor, he instructed Mansur to draw the perfect picture of the bird. Fortunately, some of these pictures are still preserved in it. The Indian Museum of Calcutta also has its samples.
Along with the photo Jahangir made detailed descriptions of bird's appearance, habitats and accessories. These narratives have been captured in his memoirs. Jahangir's memoirs written till 1624 It is astonishing to think of the bird's scientific description of how much he recorded in this period. Salim Ali said that the famous Dodo birds reached his court. However, after 1624 As a result, he has pictures of him but he does not mention the memoir.
