Indian Paradise Flycatcher, earlier known as the Asian Paradise Flycatcher, is a medium-sized passerine bird. It is a state bird of Madhya Pradesh. It’s an uncommon resident and summer visitor of Bangladesh. The Indian name of Indian Paradise-flycatcher is Swargiya Nartak (स्वर्गीय नर्तक), which means dancer of the Heaven due to their dance-like flying style. Males have elongated central tail feathers, and a black and rufous plumage in some populations, while others have white plumage. Females are short-tailed with rufous wings and a black head. Indian paradise flycatchers feed on insects, which they capture in the air often below a densely canopied tree. Female are rufous on the back with a greyish throat and underparts. Young males look very much like females but have a black throat and blue-ringed eyes. As adults they develop up to 24 cm long tail feathers with two central tail feathers growing up to 30 cm long drooping streamers. Young males are rufous and have short tails. They acquire long tails in their second or third year. Moulting from rufous into white plumage during mating season is an interesting character of young males. The Indian paradise flycatcher is a migratory bird and spends the winter season in tropical Asia. Its breeding season lasts from May to July. Being socially monogamous both male and female take part in nest-building, incubation, brooding and feeding of the young. Three or four eggs are laid in a neat cup nest made with twigs and spider webs on the end of a low branch. The incubation period lasts 14 to 16 days and the nestling period 9 to 12 days. The nest is sometimes built in the vicinity of a breeding pair of drongos, which keep predators away. They do so because of higher attacking capability of drongos. As in this case they built their nest just on the next tree where a pair of drongo nesting. Chicks hatch in about 21 to 23 days. A case of interspecific feeding has been noted with paradise flycatcher chicks fed by Oriental white-eyes. • LIKE and SHARE this video to let everyone watch this amazing experience. • • Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE my channel if you like and press the bell icon for more video. • • Gears used: • Nikon Coolpix P900 • GoPro Hero 5 Black • Digitek Tripod (DTR 500) • ———————————————————— • Music: • https://www.bensound.com • Youtube Audio library • • Voice: • www.text2voice.org • • Edited on: • DaVinci Resolve 16 • ———————————————————— • Location: • Koch Behar • ———————————————————— • #IndianParadiseFlycatcher #Drongo #BirdWatching
