Boy spreading Pigeon Feed

I met this boy spreading pigeon feed in Bikaner in front of Laxminath Temple. The boy was busy feeding pigeons. I saw him empty a sack of grains for the pigeons, it must be at least 5kgs. He was enjoying doing the work in a systematic way dragging the half open sack in a zig zag path.

Later I caught up with the boy and he pleasantly kept answering my curiosity. He does this everyday and has never found it boring. He comes at the same time everyday. His school being nearby, he quickly comes finishes this activity and returns to school. He is a sixth grader.

Felt very pleased to see such a young social worker, nature lover school student before. May his tribe flourish. The pigeons seemed to wait for their daily grub crowding around his feet.
