Shuka Vana ~ The striking 50-metre high free-flight aviary has around 2,100 colourful residents, of 468 different species. The one acre aviary was set up by Dr. Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji – head of the spiritual, cultural and social welfare organisation Avadhoota Datta Peetham in Mysuru. Sri Swamiji takes care of rare and depriving exotic birds and rescues endangered, injured and abandoned birds.

Shuka Vana is a distinctive aviary where one gets the most astonishing opportunity of being in the divine presence of the living, breathing deity that presides over one’s own zodiac sign, and a parrot that represents one’s planet and birth date. Here you will find the parrot that stands as a symbol for each day of the month as well.

Dr Swamiji feels strongly about animal welfare and conservation, so he created Shukavana to preserve endangered species of birds. Attached to the aviary is a large hospital, where Dr Swamiji and his team of volunteers treat injured, sick and abandoned birds.
