You may have seen a small bird like a cockroach fly two steps ahead of you as you walk along the seam.  The name of the bird that does not catch your eye until you get very close is Bhonyachakali.  Due to its dusty and brown color, it blends in with the surrounding land in such a way that its presence is realized only when it flies.

There is a difference in the color of males and females.  Male talcum gray.  Cheeks fair white.  The protruding belt is black.  Upper body gray brown.  Starting from the beard, the whole petal is dark brown which looks like black.  Beak thick and

Horned.  Legs greenish brown.  The female of Bhoyachakli, Jaital Badami like the female Chakli.  The color of both males and females blends with the soil.  Their presence occurs only when they move, usually the male moves with the female.  There are also another five - ten nearby.

The male appearance is not immediately noticeable.  A sweet whistle from a cliff or a rock would go straight up to ૨૫ 30 feet and fall down as if it were falling head over heels.  Taking advantage of the speed of landing wherever the ground is ventilated, it climbs up again.  Thus, the English ‘Y’ shape goes up and down and blows a steady whistle without any kind of ascent-descent.  If there is a little interest in birds, this small skyscraper of a male will definitely catch your eye.  The rest, keeping a good body in the ground, run five-seven steps and find small seeds or insects in the grass, go ahead again.  Such is the lifestyle of Bhaichakali, Ughado Vagado, Seam Shedho is its residential area.
