"Coming from a family of artists, photography always excited me and as a result I hold the camera and pursue my passion. With increasing concrete structures and loss of natural habitat, birds are nearly at extinct and rarely seen in Vadodara. Even people dosen't know the names of birds and these species which already exists here in city and outskirts and often they call them as chakli of chidiya. Hence I tried to capture them for the future generations. In last six to seven years I clicked around 200 different birds in their natural habitats in and outside the city and selected of them displayed in my home museum. The aim is to give visitors a view of some of the beautiful winged neighbours they are living with, " said Shubhangi.
