Natural sentinel in the crop field

The horizon is adorned with green and golden colors of rice fields. The ripe rice grains sway in the gentle breeze, indicating that the time to harvest the harvest of the farmer's tireless work is approaching. However, right in the middle of this beautiful scene, the eye is caught by a special scene—a small black bird is sitting calmly on a flag made of plastic paper on the top of a bamboo pole.

This is a very familiar and familiar image in the crop fields of rural Bengal. The bird is probably a fink bird, which in rural language can be called the 'natural guardian' of the crop. Farmers usually bury poles or branches in the middle of the field for the bird to sit, which is called the 'perching' method in agricultural science. Sitting on the poles, the birds can easily see harmful insects or moths and protect the crop by eating them. As a result, the need for the use of toxic chemical pesticides is greatly reduced. This is a wonderful example of nature's own way of protecting crops.The bird perching on the artificial flag made by the farmer is a wonderful combination of technology and nature. A piece of calm, green and self-reliant Bangladesh is reflected in this extraordinary frame.
