Vedanthangal is said to be the oldest water sanctuary which is renowned for its conservation of migratory birds and local bird species. The sanctuary attracts a diverse range of water birds including herons, egrets, ibises, spoon bills and more. During the period of migratory season 4000 of migratory birds travel from various parts including Europe and Australia. There were totally 40,000 birds in the sanctuary.
