Our dear Bangladesh is a beautiful country. It is a land of forests
and trees. Hills and vales, rivers, marshes and canals wide open
meadows. It has got a moderate climate neither too hot nor too cold. So
this land is a happy ab9de of different kinds of birds. Birds have
increased the beauty of our country. We sleep at night and rise early in
the morning hearing the sweet song of different birds. Different types
there are different types of birds in our country. They are different in
color, size and habit. They eat different kinds of food. Some birds eat
fish and flesh; some live on warms and insects, some on fruits and
grains, some on filth and garbage. Birds are divided into many classes.
They are teasing birds, song birds, rapacious birds, game birds,
migratory birds and tailor birds. Teasing birds: Crows and kites are
teasing birds the crow is a very common bird in Bangladesh. It is very
clever. Let steals away the food and other small things from our kitchen
and from the hands of the little babies. It looks ugly. Yet it is
useful. It feeds on dead animals and dirty things. It has a harsh voice.
The kite also steals away chickens, fish and pieces of flesh. Song
birds there are many song birds in Bangladesh. The cuckoo is the most
popular of all song birds. It comes to our country at the beginning of
spring. Small boys and girls try to imitate a cuckoo when it sings. It
hides itself behind leaves. The shyma, the doel, the koel and the
baukatha-kao, the nightingle are well known song birds. Doel is our
national bird. Talking birds the parrot, the mayna, the chandana, the
cockatoo and the martin are called talking birds. They are fine looking.
People tame them for their sweet voice and they can talk like human
beings it they are trained. The game birds: There are many game birds in
our country. They are famous for their tasty flesh. The partridge, he
dove, the pigeon, the snipe, the bittern, the heron, the teal, and the
pankauri are most well known game birds. The fish eating birds: There
are some fish eating birds that live beside the watery places. They eat
small fish. The crane, the heron and the kingfisher are fish eating
birds. Birds of prey: There are some birds of prey in our country. They
are the vulture and the hawk. They mainly live on flesh and fish. These
birds have keen eyes and sharp nail. They swoop down upon their prey.
The vulture eats upon dead animals. The tailor birds: There are some
birds that build their nests with great skill. We wonder at their work.
They are called tailor birds. The swallow, the tuntuni and the babui are
tailor birds. Nocturnal Birds: There are some birds that come out at
night. They are called night-birds. The owl and the bat are of this
kind. These birds do not come out in broad daylight. We hear the owl
prowl at night. It is harmless. The bat feeds on fruits. It flies at
night. Migratory birds: Many game birds come from foreign land in our
country during autumn and winter. They are also famous for their flesh.
They increase the natural beauty of our country for the time being. Some
other birds: There are many other common birds which we find here and
there; we do not know the name of many birds. The wood pecker is a fine
looking bird. It made hole in the tree. Pea-cock is also a beautiful
bird. Domestic birds: The pigeon, the hen, the cock and the duck are
domestic birds. They provide us with flesh and eggs. Many families in
our country make poultry farm and earn a lot of money. Birds are our
natural wealth. They are helpful and useful to us in many ways. They do
many good to us. Birds eat many dirty things and keep the environment
clean. Therefore, we should not kill birds at random and we should take
proper care of them.
