Solution
Problems faced by birds
Due to the loss of habitat, prey and heavy hunting for meats, some of the Indian birds are on the verge of extinction. The life of birds is no more a bed of roses for they face various problems during their existence on the earth. Poaching and massive hunting took these beautiful species birds into the category of critically endangered birds of India. Their natural habitat - forests - are being cleared away to provide for human settlements, thus encroaching upon their space. Great Indian bustard, Indian Vulture, Himalayan quail, and Siberian Crane are few species of birds who are facing critical problems of extinction. Many birds are caught and caged and this prevents their breeding in natural circumstances. Further, due to the shrinking of water bodies, birds are almost dying for want of water and food. Deforestation is another major offender of birds and a threat to their existence. The exciting and fun-filled kite flying provides children and often adults with much joy and thrill, but does one realize the injuries inflicted on birds when they come in contact with the manga. A study by the International Crane Foundation said the last confirmed sighting of Siberian cranes in India was in 2002. Another report states that in 1974 close to 75 birds wintered in Bharatpur which declined to a single pair in 1992. In more recent times, the setting up of mobile towers are causing much harm to the birds by the radiation.

Two common types of oils are animal oil and vegetable oil.
Some of the commonest
sources of animal oils are from the livers of the cod and halibut, two kinds of fish. These oils are very nourishing. They are a great source of vitamins, and hence are recommended for under nourished children. We get oil from other creatures as well, but it is the whale that yields the most. The whale has a thick coating of fat called blubber which protects it from the extreme cold of the Arctic seas. Whales are often hunted for this oil. To make this oil fit for human consumption blubber is stripped off from a dead whale and boiled, most often on board the ship.
egetable oils are extracted from different plant parts such as seeds, nuts and the flesh of fruits. They are widely used in cooking. From very ancient times they have been used in households for various reasons. The oils of certain flowers are extracted to make perfumes. Vegetable oils such as castor oil are used as medicine and as lubricants. In recent times, there have been debates on using waste vegetable oils as fuel.
