Bulbul(Red-whiskered bulbul-ഇരട്ടത്തലച്ചി)

The cute little bird is found everywhere and is particularly common in urban areas, often seen in parks, gardens, and along creeks. These birds prefer to stay in groups, making their presence known with loud, evocative calls. Their song has a scolding chatter quality but is quite pleasing to the ear. Bulbuls belong to the order of Passeriformes, which translates to "perching birds."

Black Drongo [ആനറാഞ്ചി]

ആനറാഞ്ചി

The Drongo family consists of birds commonly found in open agricultural areas and light forests. These birds primarily feed on insects and are particularly known for their aggressive behavior towards much larger species, such as crows. Drongos are fearless when it comes to defending their territory, often attacking birds of prey using a dive-bombing technique, where they fly swiftly downwards to disrupt the invader.
Their typical behavior includes perching on a branch before swiftly darting down and then returning to the same spot, often repeating this action two to four times. In addition to their boldness, some Drongos can mimic the calls of other birds. The botanical name for one species is Dicrurus adsimilis macrocercus, and it's worth noting that some other categories of Drongos are migratory.
