About

The skies of Assam are filled with incredible birdlife, yet information about these birds is often scattered across field guides, scientific publications and online resources. The indigenous and local names used across Assam are particularly difficult to find, despite being an important part of the region's natural and cultural heritage.

To celebrate and preserve this heritage, Pokkhi brings together indigenous and local bird names from across Assam, bird photographs, conservation status and basic identification information into a single accessible directory. By combining visual documentation with local nomenclature, the platform serves as a valuable resource for birdwatchers, photographers, students, educators, researchers and anyone interested in Assam's rich avian diversity.

Whether you are identifying a bird, learning its Assamese name, or exploring Assam's remarkable avian diversity, Pokkhi aims to make the birds of Assam easier to discover, understand and appreciate. We invite you to explore and celebrate the rich birdlife of Assam, one species at a time.
