Abstract
Living things in world is of two division one is plants and the other is animals. Animals are both single-celled and multi-celled and the multi-celled animals have invertebrates. Animals without invertebrates are the water-dwelling fishes, the water-land-dwelling frogs, the crawling snake, crocodiles and so on. The poets of the Sangam period who looked closely at the birds have studied their life patterns. Sangha literature characterizes birds as 'Pullinangal'. Only the peacock and the parrot are better described among the Pullinangal. Asunam, Thutunam, Puravu, Chicks, Bettle and Iruthalaipul are some of the birds described in Sangam literature. Sangam songs describes how these birds live in the five regions of Kurinji, Mullai, Marutham, Neithal and Palai. Thus the article examines the birds shot in the five land forms of Tamilnadu.
