FLAMINGO FESTIVAL

About: 

• Flamingo Festival is a 13-year-long tradition of the region. The Flamingo Festival is organised annually to encourage tourism in Pulicat and Nellapattu. 
  
  
• The highlight of this fest is the sight of colourful migratory birds from Siberia that visit the region for nesting and breeding. 
  • Around 9,000 to 12,000 migratory birds, belonging to 80 different species, arrive at Pulicat for the purpose of breeding in winter. 
    
    
  • After the breeding season is over, the migratory birds leave for their native region along with their fledglings.
