00:00Every house has a special identity, whose vitality is formed by the people living here, by the animals, by the environment around it.

00:09Today we are going to introduce you to a house that has its own story.

00:14This house is in the Panjipur area of Benaras, whose name is Totewala Ghar.

00:19Eight people live in this house, but the beauty of this house is formed by the hundreds of birds living here.

00:27These birds include parrots, crickets, pigeons, and bulbuls.

00:32Every morning and evening, these birds come to this house from Kalrava and roam in the surrounding environment.

00:40First of all, look at these hundreds of birds living in Totewala Ghar.

00:45Every morning, these birds come to this house with their Kalrava and work here to graze.

00:52From their Kalrava and their walk, the whole area around is filled with noise and play.

01:01The head of this house, Jai Prakash Singh, takes care of these birds.

01:05Jai Prakash Singh says that since 2000, he has decided to serve these birds.

01:11There used to be a cowherd in his lane, for whom he used to sow seeds first.

01:16After that, a pair of parrots came, who used to eat his seeds.

01:20And after that, today the statistics have become such that in 24 years,

01:24more than 1500 parrots come to his house and work every morning and evening to sow seeds.

01:31Jai Prakash Singh says that these parrots are like his family.

01:35The day these parrots do not come, his whole house, this area seems empty.

01:40He says that these parrots come every day after covering a distance of 30-40 km.

01:45And this is the only such area of Benaras where people get to see so many parrots.

01:52He said that the main meal of these parrots is rice.

01:56They are given rice every morning and evening.

01:59And they eat a lot of rice.

02:02We started this campaign in 2002.

02:05Two cowherds used to come to my house.

02:09So we started giving them some rice and seeds.

02:13After seeing them, a pair of parrots came.

02:17So we gave them more rice and seeds.

02:20And when they ate two parrots and started going from our roof,

02:24they called out to all the parrots on their way.

02:35Gradually, the number of parrots increased.

02:38Today, at least 700-800 parrots come to our roof.

02:45In which the number of parrots is less and the number of parrots is the highest.

02:49We get about 1,400-1,500 parrots every year.

02:52Both meetings, morning and evening.

02:54When there is new crop in the field, the number increases.

02:59When the crop is ready to be harvested, the number of parrots increases.

03:05For us, it takes at least five years for the parrots to come.

03:08We enquire about them at least 20 times.

03:11They didn't come today, they didn't come today, they didn't come today.

03:14We are worried that they are hungry today.

03:18And we do this so that other people can see us.

03:23Because only this will go together and nothing else in the world will go together.

03:27We are called the house of parrots.

03:30And we got this inspiration because of Ashok Agrawal Dhoopchandi.

03:36He always encouraged us to never stop working.

03:40You must be very fortunate that so many birds come to your roof.

03:44That's why we give them two hours, two and a half hours in the morning and evening.

03:48Apart from this, we serve the bull, we serve the dog, we do medicine.

03:53We stop the injured animals that pass by our shop and give them medicine.

04:01We do it with what we have in our hands, otherwise we call the doctor.

04:04In this work of Mr. Jayprakash, his wife also helps him a lot.

04:09The day he doesn't stay, she feeds these birds in the morning.

04:14She takes care of them.

04:16She says that it feels very good when our house is known as the house of parrots.

04:21These birds are like members of our family for us.

04:25The day they don't stay, our world feels empty.

04:29We feed them, we help them.

04:32If they don't stay, we call the workers to come down and feed them.

04:40It feels very good.

04:42They spread all over the roof.

04:44You will see at 3.30, they come so much that no one moves.

04:48They don't move, they hide.

04:50They eat everything and leave.

04:52They don't eat today.

04:54Or when it starts raining, they fly away.

04:56It feels like a child.

04:58When I come here, I see that there are a lot of parrots and birds.

05:04There are pigeons.

05:06I have been in Benaras for 20-22 years, but I have not seen so many parrots and birds anywhere else.

05:12How do you feel?

05:14I feel very good.

05:16I have to come to my brother to see them.

05:20What kind of inspiration do you get when you see them?

05:26I see that I am a little busy myself.

05:30But still, when I see my brother, I call my family at home.

05:34It is the National Bird Day.

05:37Jai Prakash Singh, a resident of Benaras, is not only making people aware of birds,

05:44but he is also giving a different message on how to love and care for birds.

05:52Jai Prakash says that we have only one request.

05:56CM Yogi Adityanath, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, wherever flyovers are made,

06:01government buildings are built, big buildings are built,

06:04there must be a small nest for these birds to live.

06:08So that these birds can get a means of food to live.

06:13So that the way they are disappearing, their generation is ending,

06:19so that they can be saved.

06:21I would like to say to our Chief Minister Yogi,

06:26that all government buildings, over bridges, whatever is built,

06:31to make use of the nest of parrots, to make use of the house of parrots,

06:37to encourage the engineers and OCRs to have a nest on every building.

06:43We want that all the buildings, whether private or government,

06:49on their roofs, on the outside, in a safe place, people should make use of the nest.

06:55It can be said that this house of parrots built in the Pandipur area of Benaras,

07:02not only gives an example of how people should love birds,

07:08but these birds have a different, beautiful, happy world.
