Large Grey Babbler
There is a song in Sangam literature (Tamil)
What she said
Friend, listen.
I’ll not think any more
of that man on whose sandy shore
birds occupy the tigerclaw tree
and play havoc with the low flowering branches,
and my eyes will get some sleep
(Ammuvanar-Ainkurunuru 142; Translated by A.K.Ramanujan)
I don’t know about the birds mentioned there, but these birds do a really good havoc at my backyard…Anyway, I like their eyes…
Scientific Name: Turdoides malcolmi
