Indian Cockatoo




This Indian bird is in the endangered list.Smaller than peacock but weighs around 500 to 600 grams in weight.Canot fly for long distance and mostly hops from one tree to another.Lives on flower buds and small insects.If you are an early riser then only you can spot them.Because my house is near to a fast disintegrating famous forest of Orissa called "CHANDKA"near Bhubaneswar i spot lots of beautiful birds and listen to their melodious music in the early morning, a rare privilege in concrete jungles.
