​Ever noticed that rhythmic tapping on a tree tr ​Ever noticed that rhythmic tapping on a tree trunk? 
​That’s the 'Kathphodwa' (Woodpecker), nature’s very own carpenter and drummer! They don't just peck for food; that loud drumming is actually their way of singing to attract a mate. It’s fascinating how they turn old, dying trees into cozy homes, proving that nothing in nature goes to waste. We are truly lucky to have over 30 species of these colorful birds right here in India.

This is Yellow-billed Blue-magpie member of family This is Yellow-billed Blue-magpie member of family Corvidae, which also includes crows, jays, and ravens. They live in group of seven or eight birds and are highly territorial. 

Male and female are very similar in appearance, with the most significant difference that males are generally larger and have a slightly more vibrant blue colour. Females are  smaller compared to males. 

Yellow-billed Blue-magpie is primarily found in the northern Himalayan. It prefers montane forests typically between elevations of 1,500 to 3,000 meters.

Their diet consists of small mammals, the eggs and young of other birds, insects, wild fruits and berries. 

They frequently feed on the ground and do a hopping gait with the tail held high to prevent it coming into contact with the ground.

Yellow-billed Blue-magpie mimic sounds like raptors, and its surprisingly bold behavior around humans, particularly when scavenging for food. It's an extremely vocal and territorial bird that often forages in noisy flocks and builds large, domed nests using mud and even animal dung. 

Yellow-billed Blue Magpie can mimic sounds, including human speech, particularly if hand-raised or living in close to humans. This ability is a form of sophisticated communication and is part of their varied vocal repertoire.

​The secret of the Little Cormorant's (जल काक) wet feathers!
If you've ever seen this bird holding its wings open, you're watching it dry off!
​This is the Little Cormorant. Unlike ducks, its feathers get soaked, so after it dives underwater to catch fish, it has to sunbathe to get dry.
​From their "kok-kok-kok" calls to their colonial nests, they are a fascinating and common sight in freshwater lakes and rivers all across India.
​Have you spotted a 'Jal Kaak' in your city? 👇

​In the 1960s, the Great Indian Bustard was a top contender for our national bird. Today, it's on the absolute brink of extinction. 
​With fewer than 150 left in the world, this giant—found only in India—could disappear forever in just 10-15 years.
​From being a symbol of our nation to near-total silence. This is a crucial moment for conservation. Let's spread the word before it's too late.

The Asian koel (Eudynamys scolopaceus), a member o The Asian koel (Eudynamys scolopaceus), a member of the cuckoo family, is found almost all across India. Like other species of this family.

You might not see the bird often, but you will certainly hear it calling koo-oo, koo-oo.

The Asian koel also exhibits sexual dimorphism, a term used to describe the difference in appearance of the male and female of a particular species. The male koel is a glossy blue-black with a pale bill, while the female has brown, speckled upperparts and barred creamy-white underparts. What’s common to both the male and female is their long tail and striking, crimson-coloured eyes.

The Asian koel is a brood parasite. Much like the other cuckoos, the koel doesn’t build a nest. Instead, the female lays its egg in the nests of other birds, most often the crow.

The koel’s egg, a greyish-blue colour with brown speckles on it, closely resembles those of the crow, so it’s understandable that the crow, renowned for its cleverness, rears the koel’s egg as its own.

Once the eggs hatch, it has been observed that the koel’s young will often push the crow’s little ones out of the nest to ensure its own survival. While the young of this species are omnivores, adult koels prefer fruits and are most often spotted in fruiting trees.

India's only native pitcher plant is critically en India's only native pitcher plant is critically endangered - Nepenthes khasiana, or "Tiew-rakot" as it's known in the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya, the only place in the world it grows.
​
This plant is a carnivore. It evolved to grow in nutrient-poor soil, developing modified leaves that act as traps. These "pitchers" lure, trap, and digest insects and even small animals like frogs, providing the plant with the nutrients it needs to survive.

​A stunning example of adaptation and a precious part of our biodiversity that needs protection.

Blues are small, often brightly colored butterflie Blues are small, often brightly colored butterflies that belong to the same family, Lycaenidae.

Blues are named for the iridescent blue color found on the top of many species' wings.

Many species also exhibit fascinating relationships with ants, where their larvae secrete a sugary fluid that ants collect for food. 

Named for the brilliant, often iridescent blue color on the upper side of the male's wings.
