During my school life, I memorized the English names Birds of Bangladesh. I learned about our enriched birds at that time. In Bangladesh, there are a lot of birds, the name of which I cannot write here as I do not know all. I will write about only few of them. Others you can find in the web.
Weaver Bird: We called the bird as Babui in Bengali. Once upon on a time this bird was common in Bangladesh. But due to environmental change, they are not easily seen anymore. From my point of view, these are the most social birds I have seen. They live in a tree as a society. Singing, quarreling, flying nearby, waving, everything is very much enjoyable. Their nest is a matter of interest to every people.
Magpie Robin: This is our national bird. We call this as Doyel. This bird is still seen in our country in many places especially in the village area. They sing early in the morning. Very nice bird with a very nice color combination. They live nearby our house.
Pigeon: Pigeon is known as Kobutor in our country. They are found in both village and city area. These are our domestic bird. We get meat from them. They play an important role in our village economy.
Common Myna: This is really common in our country. In every village and downtown area, you can see them. We call them as Shalik. Most of the time they walk and fly nearby the farmer’s kitchen and eat whatever get.
The other common birds are Sparrow, Crow, Dove, Black Drongo, Parrot, Heron, Kingfisher, and many more. Birds play an important role in maintaining the balance of the natural ecosystem. They are the part and parcel of our environment. We must do everything to save them for our own interest.
Hope you all like this post on some common birds of Bangladesh. It will be a great pleasure to me if I can see some photos of your common birds.
