- If I am not wrong this is the bird sitting on the Merlin App's "start bird id" tab. Can someone from Bird Academy confirm ?

Namaste to All, I am Abhimanyu from North-western India. Activity 1 Bird 1 - Balck kite - Milvus Migrans - I see it daily, this is s mean machine. Hunts pigeons and other small birds. Sharp calls, glides down in big circles and attacks doves and smaller birds. Loves electricity poles to sit on. I have also noticed that it has fixed times of meals. Picture not clicked by me , searched for the name in my pocket field guide which is a customized guide just for my city Jaipur. Funny things : Yesterday I saw this bird of prey being chased away by a dove.
Activity 1 : Bird 2 : Greater Coucal
Smaller in size than the black kite but bigger than a pigeon. Black kite is broader than this bird.

Activity 3 : Peahen , the neighborhood bird. Feathers not as beautiful as the male peacock but walks very elegantly, the kids follow her trail, she feels very comfortable when I am around and take a short flight if I make sudden move. It is big but still very gentle to other birds. Locally we believe if peahen is singing continuously that means it is about to rain.
