Have a good day friends,

Birds and suicide! The two words do not go together. Birds are one of the most magnificent creations of God. But these splendid creations of God sometimes behave unnaturally. Why do birds commit suicide? No one knows! It’s a mystery and no one knows what happens. Do birds really commit suicide? Are they killed or it is all natural death?

Jatinga, in Assam is a mysterious place where lots of migratory birds die every year. Jatinga is located in a spur in the Haflong ridge of North Cachar hills district of Assam –a place of mesmerizing natural beauty situated in the North-Eastern region of India,Jatinga is not only a place of natural beauty but the queer phenomenon of birds committing suicide in this place makes it a place of interest of all bird-lovers.

Birds committing Suicide during the late monsoon seasons. During this season Jatinga is veiled by the fog and the mist. The incident generally occurs when the air is foggy.

""The peak time of this phenomenon is between 7p.m to 10 p.m during the month of September to November. Birds come to this place from August onwards. Even in August birds come here but in fewer number ""

The way to do suicide, The villagers making temperory fire source to get releif from tidy mist, birds coming to the fire directly..

Various studies also reveal that the submergence of the natural habitats may lead to migration of the birds to Jatinga
