Asia's largest bird research center


On this vacation I decided to explore Hambanthota. Yeah I know most of you people are aware of this city, but did you know that it has some amazing places which you'll see only in foreign countries.. A selfie with an Ostrich maybe? Among all the places I visited I decided to write about a couple of places which stole my heart. First one in my list is the birds research center in Hambanthota.

It is the largest bird research center in Asia, and it exhibits over 200 exotic and endemic bird species. It's so huge like about 50 acres and it takes a couple of hours just to walk through the center..


My aunt told me about this place and it was not difficult to find out the place coz of the sign boards in the road.
However the road to the research center was not in a good condition and for a moment we thought we have lost our way..
Government should make the public aware of these places and if people know about this place I'm sure they will visit..


Ticket prices are as follows..'


Even though I don't like to see animals in cages I have to admit that this place will attract tourists and also scientists all over the world soon.. Below are some images I captured during my visit..









Also it is possible to feed birds for a small amount of money like 50 rupees..and I must say that's an experience you will never be able to have again..Once in a lifetime opportunity.. For more information you can visit their official web site.( click HERE)

And finally it's meee... See you later with another post about another interesting place :).. guess what..it's in the same city..hehe..Have a nice day..!!

How to survive A/Ls in 3 months...

Today is the first of May and there are exactly three months until GCE A/L exams begin. I intend to help people who has realized this and started panicking and feeling lost, but not only A/L students but also any student with any upcoming exam can use these tips to ace your exam. I will first explain why most of us usually wait until the day before deadline to do stuff. It's explained by Parkinson's law which states that " Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion". What it means is, if we are given a week to finish a task we will finish it within the week and if we are given an year to finish the same task we will spend the whole year doing it. Well that's how usually us, lazy humans work. Now that you know what happened there is no time to regret about how we procrastinated on unnecessary things etc. Now it's time to damage control.
