A high-pitched whistle or duplicated grating rattle marks the existence of the Red-Billed Blue Magpie (Urocissa erythrorhyncha), a 65-68 cm length bird mainly discovered in broadleaf forest locations and trees.
It is constantly a pleasure to see this bird flying from one tree to another, flapping its intense blue long tail with a white suggestion. Its magnificent flight ends up being more appealing in hills and amongst evergreen.
The Red-Billed Blue Magpie was categorised as a domestic bird in the Inter State Chandigarh Area (ISCR) and can quickly be found in the semi-hilly and sloping locations, consisting of Kasauli Hills, Morni, Nepli forest, Pinjore and Kalka.
The male and woman are alike. This bird is mainly discovered in sets and they often alter their area.
The Red-Billed Blue Magpie’s recognition is the head, neck and breast are black with a bluish identifying on the crown. Shoulders and rump remain in duller blue with greyish cream underpants. The long tail is brighter blue with a white suggestion and the costs is orangish-red as are the legs and feet. It weighs in between 196 and 232gm.
It nests in trees and big shrubs, in a reasonably shallow nest, and normally lays 3 to 5 eggs.
The Red-Billed Blue Magpie’s diet plan consists of invertebrates, little animals, fruit and some seeds. It searches for food both in the trees and on the ground. It likewise robs nests of eggs and chicks.
Singing mimicry is extremely obvious in this types and its calls are extremely different, however the most normal is a grating rattle and a high-pitched whistle, rather like a flute.
Coming Down from Karol Ka Tibba (2240m above water level), a peak located in Himachal Pradesh’s Solan district, offered me a chance to observe a set of Red-Billed Blue Magpies carefully in a semi-forested location recently. It was sunset and the set was moving from one evergreen to another. It was tough to determine which one was male and which was female however among them was specific about gathering food from trees.
