A SPOTTED DOVE SONG

By -

Streptopelia chinensis (spotted dove)

Wubuu-croo, ....Wu-bwrrrooo....
I sing all through the September
Dancing loud clapping my wings till December
I walk in front of her with my stiff collar
After displaying my wide tail and wings
Untill I perch to the ground from steeps
On a loose coven made with sticks
Together we both warm our chicks
People call me Streptopelia chinensis 
Bird with brown feathers and breast vinous
Found blisfully in scrubs and gardens
See me alone or in a small flocks yet monogamous
Wubuu-croo, ....Wu-bwrrrooo....
I sing all through the September

Cry of the Lapwing bird

Did we do it?? Did we do it? Did we do it? I cried all day and night Chose him for his puffy feathers and stiff tie black and bright; Together we snuggled our eggs warm and tight Laid you on the ground while we watched over you on flight; Stashing on the ground scrape did shield you from predator Never guessed you will be ruined for rainwater; Fringed your beauty by embellishing with pebbles and droppings I’m tear down to hear those raindrops mocking; Every drop of water fell called out for vengeance What matters now is my chicks’ emergence; Held his arms straight and asked him, ‘Did we do it’? Failing to the thunderstorm he said, ‘Sorry honey we couldn’t do it’. -          Sangeetha Michahial Summary :  This is the song of a female lapwing bird crying while she and her male partner tries to protect her eggs being ruined by the rainwater.     Lapwing  is a bird which makes calls both durin...

Welcome viewers! I wish everyone belated Easter wishes. Easter is celebrated as the day of the resurrection of Christ. The easter reminds us of rabbits, baskets and colourful eggs.  Colourful eggs symbolise the new life and each colour has its own meaning. Well, what fascinates me is not the colourful eggs but the colourful birds which symbolise the beauty of this earth. "Sound of chirping birds is the best morning meditation music in the world"- says Nandini Gautam.  And watching birds is the best hobby any nature lover could practice.  Recently I had visited Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary, Mandya, Karnataka, India. It is the largest bird sanctuary in the state, about 170 species of birds have been recorded so far. It also provides a home for migrating birds from Siberia and northern parts of India. I could just get to see a few of them during my visit, so let me show you some of the colourful winged creatures I met.  A spotted dove ( Streptopelia chinensi...
