Now, hear chirping of birds as you trek along Dravyavati

Dravyavati river is not only a means to channel the water across Jaipur or to revive the age old river to its former glory. Rather, it is an attempt to conserve nature as well. The area of Dravyavati passing through Ambabari and near the Amanishah Dargah has always held water that flows from the Nahargarh hills. Due to the presence of water, and good growth of grass along the banks, the place became a heaven for bird life but only in winters. 

After the development drive was initiated, the planners, officials at JDA and other authorities found that this place naturally attracted migratory birds in huge numbers near Pani Pech area. To keep the avian life thriving, the planners are now developing a Bird Park. Within the park will be a small man-made wetland to attract aquatic birds as well.

The wetland has also been created to not only conserve the migratory bird species but it is believed that through this a major impetus will be given to generating awareness about bird life and nature among the people who will be visiting the park. 

To give the Bird Park a natural feel, hundreds of trees have been planted in addition to the already existing groves, numbering in dozens. Furthermore, grass is planted at every nook and corner which not only soothes the eyes but acts as a means to provide feed to the variety of birds that eat insects. 

Interestingly, a major attraction here would be the wetland for which special grass—that do well in aquatic conditions—have been planted at the banks and a small artificial lake has been created which will hold about two-feet water. An overview point is also being created that would provide a spot for any keen birdwatcher to observe the activities or just soak in the calmness. 

Over the years birds like pochards, coots, dabchicks, moorhens and other species have frequented the stagnant waters of the river passing through Ambabari area. 

It is believed that the birds will readily take to the newly created wetland as it not only offers them added protection but also resembles a natural wetland, than the currently existing one, where human interruption is abound.
To make it easy for people to walk and observe or just soak in the beauty of nature, tracks have been laid down measuring over a kilometre in length along the Dravyavati Riverfront. 

Added Attraction

A special barn has been constructed where natural compost would be made. The compost would be made from the fallen leaves of all the trees. 
If anyone wants to just walk on the banks of the Dravyavati river, a three kilometer long walking trail has been created running along the east bank of the river with the water flowing. 

Going Green

To give the Bird Park a natural feel, hundreds of trees have been planted in addition to the already existing groves that are in dozens. Furthermore, grass is planted in every nook and corner of the park, which not only soothes the eyes but will also act as a feed provider to the variety of birds that eat insects.
