He established an aviary at this home in Agarpada, near Calcutta in 1926. He was elected Fellow of the Zoological Society of London and Member of the British Ornithologists' Union. In 1937, Nirad C. Chaudhuri became his literary assistant.[1] He wrote books on a variety of topics including birds (Pet Birds of Bengal 1923) based on his experience in keeping aviaries. He was a vice president of the Calcutta Zoological Garden for a while. He founded, in 1924, a journal, Prakriti, in Bengali for the popularization of natural science.[3][4][5]
