Bird sanctuary in odisha
Chilika lake situated in Odisha is one of the best habitat for birds during winter. A flock of birds from different parts of the world gather during this season which create a beautiful scenario for nature loving people. It's believed that birds having bones of magnetic nature drags them automatically to this place without forgetting. All should visit the place during this time.

Incorrect description about Chilika
Just wanted to draw the attention about few the incorrect points mentioned in the wiki page of Chilika. This is not the second largest lake of India after Vembanad. In fact Chilika is much bigger than Vembanad and that can be verified by the surface area mentioned in the wiki page of both of these lakes. Also found point where it's quoted that it's a saltwater lake where in reality it's brackish. 1.39.181.143 (talk) 19:39, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I have changed the claim that it's a salt-water lake with a description of how the salinity varies throughout the lake. —MiguelMunoz (talk) 23:20, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
