About Kidoor Bird Sanctuary

Kidoor, also written Kidhur, is a bird-rich village in Manjeshwaram taluk near Kumbla in northern Kasaragod. The Keralam Revenue Department specifically lists Kidoor Bird Sanctuary as a tourist place and records 174 kinds of birds identified in the village, including migratory species and birds associated with the Shiriya river and Kumbla-Shiriya estuary. Species mentioned in government material include grey-headed bulbul, Indian black ibis, oriental darter, great Indian hornbill, Malabar white-headed starling, Indian rufous babbler and orange-breasted green pigeon.

The attraction is best understood as a landscape-scale birding area rather than a fenced zoo or conventional safari park. Wetlands, estuarine edges and village vegetation create varied habitat for observation. Kidoor is in Manjeshwaram taluk, and the government village office uses PIN 671321.

Visitors should carry binoculars, keep noise low and avoid disturbing nesting or feeding birds.
