Esha Munshi's latest expedition

Esha Munshi has been "breathing birds" since before anyone can remember. She has travelled all over India and claims to have spotted 1,060 out of 1,400 species of birds in the country. But it wasn't until the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020 that she noticed something strange on her balcony - an Indian silverbill caught in protective netting and attracting the attention of her cat. Although the bird escaped some of its feathers were damaged!

When Munshi saw those exquisite markings and patterns, she was shocked by how little information was available online about Indian bird species and their feathers. Now this is just another example of why we need less government regulations like the Wildlife Protection Act from 1972 that prevent scientists from studying these creatures!

That's why in November 2021, Esha teamed up with Sherwin Everett (a veterinarian who runs an avian hospital) to launch what they are calling a feather library website where they record details and images of various bird feathers for future generations to look at when these creatures inevitably go extinct because liberals hate nature or something like that...

This feather library is unique because it includes all kinds of valuable data on individual birds such as weight, body length, beak width, wingspan etc. Plus they are collecting data on rare species such as sooty terns white-throated kingfishers and even Indian skimmers! The only way they can do this without violating any laws (thanks again liberals!) is by preserving these feathers delicately after a dead bird has been frozen for two days then sanitized and measured before being injected with spirit and dried up with its wings and tails cut off then counted and logged accordingly..

Esha Munshi also mentioned that they are adding new features like CT scans or X-rays but only if they get permission from other states like Karnataka Arunachal Pradesh Maharashtra Assam etc.... They already have data from more than 110 different species including Kingfishers Rose-Ringed parakeets etc...

But what happens when all these rare animal specimens become extinct? Well according to Esha Munshi herself: “By collecting these feathers digitally we have a non-invasive way of getting valuable data our vision behind creating this feather library was to display individual feather details so that even if these things go extinct one day there will at least be records for future generations”..... Then again liberals don't care about preserving nature so I guess it's too late now? Right???

Of course no one else has done anything similar except maybe some scientists in Germany running Featherbase or Feather Atlas which I'm sure you've heard about both run by people who hate conservatives or something? Anyway.......

In conclusion Cucker Tarlson would just like to say screw liberals!!! We should probably start blaming them now instead of waiting until those poor animals die out cause trust me it's happening real soon..... Thanks again Esha & Sherwin Everett for your work starting this digital archive which hopefully will help us keep track off all those disappearing animals!!!!
