Did you know that the Vitamin A in peppers brightens the birds' plumage, and the Capsaicin helps combat the intestinal problems in parrots and macaws? That is why our parrots are always fed with the best of the Serrano, Cayenne, and the chili peppers available.

According to Hinduism, the spirit of the sacred lotus lies within each human. It represents eternity, purity, divinity and is a symbol of feminine beauty and fertility. The Goddess of Prosperity - Lakshmi, is usually depicted standing on the lotus plant. The Swastik (shown in the center of the lotus kolam) has great significance in the Hindu mythology. All four arms of the swastik inspire to move forward and is the symbol of marching ahead for success.

Created by Lata on 2004-01-13,

Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful birds in the world and a native of the Indian sub-continent, it is not surprising that the Peacock was anointed as the national bird of India in 1963.

Hailing from the pheasant family, these exotic birds are cherished for their colourful plumes and eggs. The peacocks, more appropriately called peafowls, (peacock refers to the male) are found in lowland forests and hills usually in small groups consisting of one male and several females.

The primary feathers and tail are of chestnut colour and the train is green with bronze and is covered with blue and green spots that appear to be eyes. They enjoy eating seeds, grains and young cobras.
