Born in a lesser-known Gadhi village of Makwanpur district in central Nepal, Gautam Sapkota, popularly called Charidada in the Nepali tongue, is currently aspiring to enter his feat with Guinness Book of World Records as he can mimics 151 bird sounds.

Sapkota is now completing the necessary legal procedures to become part of the Guinness Book of World Records for his special talent in mimicking bird sounds.

He has so far organized successful crow conferences in more than 65 districts out of 75 districts in Nepal where he shared his lifetime experience and skills in mimicking the sounds of 151 birds.

On Monday, Sapkota gave Xinhua samples of his extraordinary talent.

According to Sapkota, his latest crow conference completed at Dhulikhel in Kavre districts on Monday coincided with Kag Tihar, a festival to worship crows on the occasion of Hindus second largest festival called Deepawali or Tihar.

Sapkota has studied and mastered the sounds of the different species of birds in Nepal. His favorite pastime is to follow birds in national parks,forests, nearby gardens and the central zoo in Kathmandu and spends his time imitating their sounds -- the way the birds communicate with each other on different situations.

And it is hard to believe that within a span of three years, he has been able to mimic 151 different types of birds.

"I know the birds won't be here forever, they are being killed and getting extinct due to loss of habitat and human encroachment. And since I won't be able to save them, I will preserve their voices," Sapkota told Xinhua.

Although there are many exotic birds, crows are Sapkota's best friends.He can communicate with the crows more efficiently. Sapkota believed that these birds use only a few basic sounds to communicate things like "come," "go," "run, there's danger,""let's gather, one of us is in danger" and a few others.

It was after a long study that he was able to call a " conference" of crows during the auspicious festival of Kag Tihar, the first day of the Hindu festival of Deepawali, when people worship the crow, the messenger of Yama, the god of death.

Spectators were amazed on Monday when hundreds of crows responded to his calls and gathered in an open ground at Dhulikhel in Kavre district, 40 kilometers from Kathmandu. It was a remarkable feat that hundreds of local people could hardly believe what they witnessed.

"They are my friends, and they come to me when I call them. They know that their friend needs their help and they flock to me, "Sapkota proudly said.

Sapkota has exhibited his remarkable talent in different schools throughout Nepal. So far, he had visited more than 6,500 schools in 45 districts of Nepal, interacting, entertaining and educating the kids about birds, their habitats, their ways of life and their calls.

When asked why he took up this hobby, Sapkota said, "When I was a little kid, I wondered how people imitated animals. When I grew up, I realized that I could mimic a lot of different sounds of birds, so I started my journey and the beautiful birds became my friends."

He can also imitate other animals. Following and studying the monkeys of Swayambhunath stupa, the temple of Lord Gautam Buddha and Pashupatinath temple in Kathmandu, he has learned to mimic their sounds, too. He can imitate the sound of a brawl between two or more monkeys.

To entertain students, Sapkota has composed songs using different bird voices. An album of popular Nepali folk songs mixed with the sounds of different birds (particularly the heron's sound) is now being recorded and would soon be on available in the market.
