In reply to Rajesh Warrier. Thank you for your comment, Rajesh ji. Yes, Greater Coucal also known as Crow Pheasant is a bird I have seen often in my locality as well. Yes, I completely missed this bird and I will soon update this post with pictures that I have of Greater Coucal.

Hi Mr. Shahrukh Bamboat, this is Rajesh Warrier. I have been staying in Vasai for nearly 30 years. I have recently started taking an interest in watching the birds commonly seen in our building society compound. One of the birds that I have recently started seeing in our garden is the Indian / Greater Coucal. I see that you have not included it in your article.

YOUR ARTICLE WAS VERY INTERESTING.
CROWS LIKE MYNAS CAN BE TAUGHT TO TALK AND ARE THIEVES AND IN THEIR NESTS ONE FINDS SHINY OBJECTS AND WHEN PET BIRDS ESCAPE CROWS ARE THE FIRST BIRDS TO ATTACK THEM AND KILL AND EAT THEM.
TO BE PROTECTED ALL WILD BIRDS MUST BE TAGGED ON ONE LEG AND PEOPLE MUST BE ENCOURAGED TO FEED WILD BIRDS WITH FOOD FROM FOOD FEEDER TUBES AND KEEP FRESH WATER FOR THEM TO DRINK.
ONE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT WORK HYBRID HOUSE AT THE BOMBAY ZOO , BYCULLA IS DOING ON ALL HYBRIDBIRDS AS ITS RESEARCH IS SECRET AND NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO ENTER IT.
PLEASE WRITE AN ARTICLE ON VASAI’S RARE BIRDS.

Hi Sharukh! I am Anubhav, an Architectural Master’s student in Urban Design from Mumbai. I have been studying Vasai in terms of architectural language. Recently i stumbled upon the idea of ecology of Vasai region being of as much of importance and significance as the ongoing developments happening. Maybe even more significant in these times of insensitive perspective urbanization. So, i found out through mere observation that the natural ecology is very powerful and the bird life and the plant life is still strong enough to flourish if not disturbed by human activities. I really wanted to have a meet with you in Vasai if possible at the earliest so maybe you can help me to step ahead in the determination of this significant findings. I’ll wait for your reply

In reply to prior... Thank you for your comment. It was my wife's (Sarah) idea to come up with a post series like this. She spent lot of time out in the grasslands standing quiet and still to get some shots of the birds.
