All domestic pigeons have one common ancestor which is the Rock Dove PigeonPigeons are known to survive for almost 10-15 years in their natural habitats The longest recorded life-span of a pigeon was around 33 years Pigeons and doves are known to produce crop milk which they use to feed their young ones It contains a highly nutritious amount of protein and fat and is produced by both male and femaleThe famous dove of the Noahrsquos ark was actually a homing pigeon It has been long since regarded as a symbol of life and is considered to be a religious symbol

Pigeons have been domesticated since times immemorial and have used to transport small messages across long distances In fact famous leaders of the past like Julius Caesar Genghis Khan etc have used pigeons to get important messages across long distancesPigeons are also bred for racing and can clock upto speeds ranging between 60 - 80 miles per hour They can fly upto 80 to 600 miles in one single dayA research recently established that trained pigeons were more than twice as reliable as humans and much swift in spotting red and yellow jackets floating on water and thus could be efficient life-savers

Sparrows are loosely monogamous Both the female and male take care of the young ones though the female does most of the broodingThese birds are aggressive and social which increases their ability to compete with most native birdsThey can swim to escape from predators although they are not considered to water birdsThe difference between a male and a female sparrow is that the former has a reddish back amp black bib whereas female has brown back with eye stripe Sparrow nests are bulky roofed affairs They are haphazardly built amp without good workmanshipunlike what is displayed by other weaver finchesThe nest building is initiated by an unmated male who begins construction while displaying it to the females The females do assist in nest building but are less active than the male In cool season sparrows build specially created roost nests or roost in streetlights to avoid losing heat during the winter

Sparrows are generally not territorial but they are quite aggressive when it comes to protecting their nest from intruders of the same sexThey prefer to live near human dwellings especially if there are bird feeders They are generally found in farming areas cities and suburbs Sparrows are around 14-16 cm long They are chirpy with grey and brown color They have ability to fly at speed of 385 kmhour ampcan even reach speed of 50 kmhour These birds usually nest in cavities but some may nest in bushes and trees as well They build untidy nests of grass and assorted rubbish including wool feathers and fine vegetative materialManmade environments have always been a source of food and shelter for sparrows They usually nest under the eaves of homes and in holes in the walls of buildings or in climbing plants that grow on wallsSparrows raise three nests of 3-5 eggs Both male and female helps to incubate the eggs for 12-15 days The fledglings usually fly out after 15 daysThe population of sparrows has been declining as there is less food for them because of fewer gardens They are now on the threatened birdsrsquo list in many parts of the world

All domestic pigeons have one common ancestor which is the Rock Dove PigeonPigeons are known to survive for almost 10-15 years in their natural habitats The longest recorded life-span of a pigeon was around 33 years Pigeons and doves are known to produce crop milk which they use to feed their young ones It contains a highly nutritious amount of protein and fat and is produced by both male and femaleThe famous dove of the Noahrsquos ark was actually a homing pigeon It has been long since regarded as a symbol of life and is considered to be a religious symbol

Pigeons have been domesticated since times immemorial and have used to transport small messages across long distances In fact famous leaders of the past like Julius Caesar Genghis Khan etc have used pigeons to get important messages across long distancesPigeons are also bred for racing and can clock upto speeds ranging between 60 - 80 miles per hour They can fly upto 80 to 600 miles in one single dayA research recently established that trained pigeons were more than twice as reliable as humans and much swift in spotting red and yellow jackets floating on water and thus could be efficient life-savers

Sparrows are loosely monogamous Both the female and male take care of the young ones though the female does most of the broodingThese birds are aggressive and social which increases their ability to compete with most native birdsThey can swim to escape from predators although they are not considered to water birdsThe difference between a male and a female sparrow is that the former has a reddish back amp black bib whereas female has brown back with eye stripe Sparrow nests are bulky roofed affairs They are haphazardly built amp without good workmanshipunlike what is displayed by other weaver finchesThe nest building is initiated by an unmated male who begins construction while displaying it to the females The females do assist in nest building but are less active than the male In cool season sparrows build specially created roost nests or roost in streetlights to avoid losing heat during the winter

Sparrows are generally not territorial but they are quite aggressive when it comes to protecting their nest from intruders of the same sexThey prefer to live near human dwellings especially if there are bird feeders They are generally found in farming areas cities and suburbs Sparrows are around 14-16 cm long They are chirpy with grey and brown color They have ability to fly at speed of 385 kmhour ampcan even reach speed of 50 kmhour These birds usually nest in cavities but some may nest in bushes and trees as well They build untidy nests of grass and assorted rubbish including wool feathers and fine vegetative materialManmade environments have always been a source of food and shelter for sparrows They usually nest under the eaves of homes and in holes in the walls of buildings or in climbing plants that grow on wallsSparrows raise three nests of 3-5 eggs Both male and female helps to incubate the eggs for 12-15 days The fledglings usually fly out after 15 daysThe population of sparrows has been declining as there is less food for them because of fewer gardens They are now on the threatened birdsrsquo list in many parts of the world

All domestic pigeons have one common ancestor which is the Rock Dove PigeonPigeons are known to survive for almost 10-15 years in their natural habitats The longest recorded life-span of a pigeon was around 33 years Pigeons and doves are known to produce crop milk which they use to feed their young ones It contains a highly nutritious amount of protein and fat and is produced by both male and femaleThe famous dove of the Noahrsquos ark was actually a homing pigeon It has been long since regarded as a symbol of life and is considered to be a religious symbol

Pigeons have been domesticated since times immemorial and have used to transport small messages across long distances In fact famous leaders of the past like Julius Caesar Genghis Khan etc have used pigeons to get important messages across long distancesPigeons are also bred for racing and can clock upto speeds ranging between 60 - 80 miles per hour They can fly upto 80 to 600 miles in one single dayA research recently established that trained pigeons were more than twice as reliable as humans and much swift in spotting red and yellow jackets floating on water and thus could be efficient life-savers

Sparrows are loosely monogamous Both the female and male take care of the young ones though the female does most of the broodingThese birds are aggressive and social which increases their ability to compete with most native birdsThey can swim to escape from predators although they are not considered to water birdsThe difference between a male and a female sparrow is that the former has a reddish back amp black bib whereas female has brown back with eye stripe Sparrow nests are bulky roofed affairs They are haphazardly built amp without good workmanshipunlike what is displayed by other weaver finchesThe nest building is initiated by an unmated male who begins construction while displaying it to the females The females do assist in nest building but are less active than the male In cool season sparrows build specially created roost nests or roost in streetlights to avoid losing heat during the winter

Sparrows are generally not territorial but they are quite aggressive when it comes to protecting their nest from intruders of the same sexThey prefer to live near human dwellings especially if there are bird feeders They are generally found in farming areas cities and suburbs Sparrows are around 14-16 cm long They are chirpy with grey and brown color They have ability to fly at speed of 385 kmhour ampcan even reach speed of 50 kmhour These birds usually nest in cavities but some may nest in bushes and trees as well They build untidy nests of grass and assorted rubbish including wool feathers and fine vegetative materialManmade environments have always been a source of food and shelter for sparrows They usually nest under the eaves of homes and in holes in the walls of buildings or in climbing plants that grow on wallsSparrows raise three nests of 3-5 eggs Both male and female helps to incubate the eggs for 12-15 days The fledglings usually fly out after 15 daysThe population of sparrows has been declining as there is less food for them because of fewer gardens They are now on the threatened birdsrsquo list in many parts of the world

Sparrows are loosely monogamous Both the female and male take care of the young ones though the female does most of the broodingThese birds are aggressive and social which increases their ability to compete with most native birdsThey can swim to escape from predators although they are not considered to water birdsThe difference between a male and a female sparrow is that the former has a reddish back amp black bib whereas female has brown back with eye stripe Sparrow nests are bulky roofed affairs They are haphazardly built amp without good workmanshipunlike what is displayed by other weaver finchesThe nest building is initiated by an unmated male who begins construction while displaying it to the females The females do assist in nest building but are less active than the male In cool season sparrows build specially created roost nests or roost in streetlights to avoid losing heat during the winter

Sparrows are generally not territorial but they are quite aggressive when it comes to protecting their nest from intruders of the same sexThey prefer to live near human dwellings especially if there are bird feeders They are generally found in farming areas cities and suburbs Sparrows are around 14-16 cm long They are chirpy with grey and brown color They have ability to fly at speed of 385 kmhour ampcan even reach speed of 50 kmhour These birds usually nest in cavities but some may nest in bushes and trees as well They build untidy nests of grass and assorted rubbish including wool feathers and fine vegetative materialManmade environments have always been a source of food and shelter for sparrows They usually nest under the eaves of homes and in holes in the walls of buildings or in climbing plants that grow on wallsSparrows raise three nests of 3-5 eggs Both male and female helps to incubate the eggs for 12-15 days The fledglings usually fly out after 15 daysThe population of sparrows has been declining as there is less food for them because of fewer gardens They are now on the threatened birdsrsquo list in many parts of the world

The migratory habits of the black kite are complex but generally populations at higher northern latitudes migrate southwards over winter while those nearer the equator remain in same area year roundThis typically involves European populations moving south into sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East whilst populations north of Pakistan and Himalayas travel into south Asia Although populations closer to the equator such as India Australia and central ampsouthern Africa tend to be sedentary some do make small migrations in association with the seasons as well as in response to food supply amp rainfallThe black kite is found through most of Africa Europe and Asia (except for the Sahara central China and the extreme north) and in parts of Indonesia New Guinea and Australia Given its immense range it is no surprise that the black kite occupies a wide variety of natural and artificial habitats from wetlands river edges savannah amp woodland to villages towns and even big cities Dense forest pure deserts and high mountains are essentially the only habitats in which this species does not normally occur

ANGLO-INDIANS frequently confound the koel with the brain-fever bird There is certainly some excuse for the mistake for both are cuckoos and both exceedingly noisy creatures but the cry of the koel (Eudynamis honorata) bears to that of the brain-fever bird or hawk-cuckoo (Hierococcyx varius) much the same relation as the melody of the organ-grinder does to that of a full German band Most men are willing to offer either the solitary Italian or the Teutonic gang a penny to go into the next street but if forced to choose between them select the organ-grinder as the lesser of the two evils In the same way most people find the fluty note of the koel less obnoxious than the shriek of the hawk-cuckooThe latter utters a treble note which sounds like Brain fever This it is never tired of repeating It commences low down the musical scale and then ascends higher and higher until you think the bird must burst But it never does burst When the top note is reached the exercise is repeatedThe koel is a bird of many cries As it does not like the brain-fever bird talk English its notes are not easy to reproduce on paper Its commonest call is a

crescendo kuil kuit kuil from which the bird derives its popular name This cry is peculiar to the cock The second note is to use the words of Colonel Cunningham an outrageous torrent of shouts sounding like kuk kuu kuu kuu kuu kuu repeated at brief intervals in tones loud enough to rouse the Seven Sleepers The koel is nothing if not impressive He likes to utter this note just before dawn when all the world is still As the bird calls chiefly in the hot weather when it frequently happens that the hour before sunrise is almost the only one in the twenty-four in which the jaded European can sleep this note is productive of much evil language on the part of the aforesaid EuropeanThe koels third cry is well described by Cunningham as a mere cataract of shrill shrieks - heekaree karees This is heard mostly when the hen is fleeing for dear life before a pair of outraged crows So much for the voice of the koel now for a description of the singer The cock is a jet-black bird with a green bill and a red eye The hen is speckled black and white with

the eye and beak as in the cock Add to this the fact that the koel is a little larger than the merry cuckoo messenger of spring which visits England and it is impossible not to recognise the birdThis cuckoo like many of its relatives does not hatch its own eggs It cuckolds crows This is no mean performance for the crow is a suspicious creature It knoweth full well the evil which is in its own heart and so judging others by itself watches unceasingly over its nest from the time the first egg is deposited therein until the hour when the most backward young one is able to fly Now a koel is no match for a crow in open fight hence it is quite useless for the former to attempt by means of force to introduce its egg into the crows nest It is obliged to resort to guile The cock entices away the crows and while they are absent the hen deposits her egg

crescendo kuil kuit kuil from which the bird derives its popular name This cry is peculiar to the cock The second note is to use the words of Colonel Cunningham an outrageous torrent of shouts sounding like kuk kuu kuu kuu kuu kuu repeated at brief intervals in tones loud enough to rouse the Seven Sleepers The koel is nothing if not impressive He likes to utter this note just before dawn when all the world is still As the bird calls chiefly in the hot weather when it frequently happens that the hour before sunrise is almost the only one in the twenty-four in which the jaded European can sleep this note is productive of much evil language on the part of the aforesaid EuropeanThe koels third cry is well described by Cunningham as a mere cataract of shrill shrieks - heekaree karees This is heard mostly when the hen is fleeing for dear life before a pair of outraged crows So much for the voice of the koel now for a description of the singer The cock is a jet-black bird with a green bill and a red eye The hen is speckled black and white with

the eye and beak as in the cock Add to this the fact that the koel is a little larger than the merry cuckoo messenger of spring which visits England and it is impossible not to recognise the birdThis cuckoo like many of its relatives does not hatch its own eggs It cuckolds crows This is no mean performance for the crow is a suspicious creature It knoweth full well the evil which is in its own heart and so judging others by itself watches unceasingly over its nest from the time the first egg is deposited therein until the hour when the most backward young one is able to fly Now a koel is no match for a crow in open fight hence it is quite useless for the former to attempt by means of force to introduce its egg into the crows nest It is obliged to resort to guile The cock entices away the crows and while they are absent the hen deposits her egg

bullA female camel is called a cow a male camel is called a bull and a baby camel is called a calfbullThe word lsquocamelrsquo comes from the Arabic word meaning lsquobeautyrsquobullA common misconception is that the humps of camels are used to carry water However this is not true The humps store fat lessening heat-trapping insulation around the rest of the bodybullAs early as 1800 BC camels have been used as the most common means of transport in Africa Asia and the areas in the Arabian Peninsula This majestic creature would often help merchants carry gold ivory silk incense and spices to different parts of the world and the trading capital of lsquoPetrarsquo in JordanbullCamels are commonly used by Bedouins even today

bullThe Bactrian camels are shorter and are able to endure varying temperatures than the Dromedaries The Bactrian camels are also known for their longer and finer woolbullIt is said that camelrsquos milk is an acquired tastebullCamels do not chew the food and swallow it instead They regurgitate and chew the cud laterbullCamels have thick bushy eyebrows to protect their eyes from the rays of the sonbullCamels shed their coat each yearbullCamels have two layers of thick eyelashes to protect them from the dustbullCamels have paddy hoofs with two toes to protect them from sinking in the sand

bullBaby camels are born without a humpbullCamels have three chambers in their stomachbullCamels can eat thorny twigs without hurting its mouthbullCamels can live without water for days and even monthsbullA camel can drink about 200 liters of water in a daybullThe body temperature of the camel rises during the day and cools off during the nightbullCamels can close their nostrils or leave a small opening to prevent sand from entering insidebullThe tag lsquoThe Ship of the Desertrsquo comes from the camelrsquos walk The camel moves both its legs on one side of the body at the same time which resembles the rolling motion of a ship at seabullCamelrsquos ears are very small and hairy but their hearing power is very strong
