Paradise Flycatcher

 Paradise Flycatcher

Is there a bird that we will never forget once we see it?  Without hesitation, you can name an adult male Dudhraj.  It is natural for Dudhraj to hold the heart of any dull, dry or erotic man for a few moments.  No bird of India can match its beauty and elegance.  ‘Range Rudo, Rupe Puro, Disanto Kodilo Kodamano’ is as meaningful for Narasimha Mehta's verse as it is for Krishna.  If you look at its color, only two.  White and dark.  Head, neck and throat black.  Body slightly black lines in the wing.  Bouquet straight above the head.

Black, the rest of the body milky white.  The adornment of the male milkweed is enhanced by two white feathers fifty centimeters long coming out of its tail.The female looks different.  His head and hair are as black as a male's, his throat and cheeks are light gray.  The rest of the upper body, wings and tail are reddish-orange.  The lower body is white.  Chest light gray.  Females do not have two long feathers in their tails like males.  Male chicks up to one year of age are similar in color to females.  In the second year, if the color of the male calf remains the same, then the feathers like the female - orange also start growing two feathers between the tails.  In the third year, the male begins to change color.  At that time it has both orange and white colors.  In the fourth year, except for the head, his body turns white.  A closer look reveals a blue ring around the eyes of both males and females.

Dudhraj's figure is as much in love with Shri Sampanna as his life style.  It is a bird of gardens, trees and groves.  The flying insect is not its main food, like a caterpillar or a black caterpillar on a branch of a tree, but the inner branch sits upright and looks around.  The creature appears to be immediately behind it, captivating our minds with its graceful flight of time.  Seeing its agile flight with its long tail fluttering back and forth in the air, it is unbearable.It is a very lively bird by nature.  Fly horizontally to catch insects, catch them and come back immediately.  In order to catch the creatures, this branch keeps flying from that tree or from one tree to another.  The flight goes up and down like waves of water, thus increasing its charm.  Koo-e-e-k is a slow hoarse voice.  Salt like to hear his song of the breeding season.

The resident bird of Gujarat is true, but travels locally according to the seasons.  It is true that Himalayan birds come in winter.  Breeding season May to August.  A small neat bowl-like nest in a tree made of grass, bark, spider webs, etc.  Permanent resident.  Location wide.  Spreads everywhere in winter.  The male lays eggs in the nest.
