Those who do not know Malabar Whistling Thrush, will be surprised to know that the bird sings very similar to human whistling. Sometimes, locals call it Whistling Schoolboy! Its scientific name is Myophonus horsfieldii. It belongs to Muscicapidae family of birds.
With its ink-blue shoulders, the Malabar Whistling Thrush wears a different kind of beauty. At first, looking from far, you will be confused whether the bird jumping from branch to branch and diving down suddenly is a crow or a cuckoo. Closing in is not easy. So! The long lens becomes useful. Hope you are delighted to see the beautiful Malabar Whistling Thrush here in this post.
