Red Vented Bulbul (An interesting story behind them)

Commonly seen near your orchard, chirping on the trees near your house. Its a member of bulbul family and they feed on crops, insects etc. They are seen in many parts of India, tibet srilanka etc.
These birds are fighting birds and they are not very much scared with the human being nearby.

Story of bulbul and koel fight
One morning I was having my tea on my balcony and was gazing on the trees near my house. There is big temple compound in front of the house which I live and my balcony faces the orchard of the temple. I noticed few birds chirping sound on the neem (Azadirachta indica) tree. Out of curiosity I started watching carefully towards the tree. I found three birds playing around there and making noise there. I identified that two were red vented bulbul and one was koel. Normally after summer Peepal (Ficus religiosa) trees will have fruits on it and many birds come in search of food there. The koel also had come for that and I remember that these bulbuls used to be there every morning and the koel was new to the three.
I carefully examined and found that instead of playing these bulbuls were fighting with the koel. The koel was sitting at one branch and suddely on bulbul came from up and hit her using its beak. The fight continued for 10-15 mins, koel was moving from one branch to another but these bulbuls were not leaving her.
Finally the koel gave up and flew away from the tree. I finished my cup of tea and started my daily work as usual, but it was really joyful to see these birds around me.

Dove see chirping near house

Doves are of the same species as the pigeons, we can also call them as wild pigeon. They have brown colors with light color dots. These are commonly seen bird in India. A graceful, slender-tailed, small-headed dove that’s common across the continent. Mourning Doves perch on telephone wires and forage for seeds on the ground; their flight is fast and bullet straight. Their soft, drawn-out calls sound like laments. When taking off, their wings make a sharp whistling or whinnying. Doves are found in almost every part of the world, and there are hundreds of dove species in existence. However, only a handful of doves are commonly available as pets, with the diamond dove and the ring-necked dove as the most popular pet dove species. Doves are ideal for someone who wants a bird, but cannot accommodate the needs of a parrot (noise, one-on-one social interaction). There interactions are fun to watch and some consider their sound pleasant.

Kingfisher : Beautiful bird

Kingfisher Description and habitat Kingfishers are a family of small to medium-sized, brightly colored birds in the order Coraciiformes. They have a cosmopolitan distribution, with most species found outside the Americas. The family contains 114 species and is divided into three subfamilies: river kingfishers (Alcedininae), tree kingfishers (Halcyoninae), and water kingfishers (Cerylinae). All kingfishers have large heads, long, sharp, pointed bills, short legs, and stubby tails. Most species have bright plumage with only small differences between the sexes. Most species are tropical in distribution, and a slight majority are found only in forests. They consume a wide range of prey usually caught by swooping down from a perch. While kingfishers are usually thought to live near rivers and eat fish, many species live away from water and eat small invertebrates. Like other members of their order, they nest in cavities, usually tunnels dug into the natural or artificial banks in the...
