The cuckoo, the shyama, the doel, the koel, the nightingale etc. are known as singing birds. The cuckoo is the most popular among them. The doel is our national bird.
The vulture, the hawk, the kite etc. are the birds of prey. They have keen eyes and sharp nails. They live on fish and flesh.
The parrot, the moyna and the shalik are the talking birds. If they are trained, they can talk like a man. Many people tame them.
The very common domestic birds are the hen, the duck, the pigeon etc. We get flesh and egg from them.
Besides our native birds, many birds come to our land during autumn and winter from other countries. They flock in lakes and beels and go back after winter.
