Another tiny bird from the flower pecker group. They are very active birds always hoping from one tree to another feeding on fruits. They are birds from the well wooded country, and are another set of small birds about 10cm in length. They apart from the fruits and berries also like to eat spiders and insects occasionally. They are classified as least concern in the IUCN red list. Mostly seen solitary in the canopy and occasionally as a pair.

Quails are small sized birds found across the world. There are roughly 15 species of quails in the world. The image here is of the jungle bush quail. The male is on the left characterized by the black and white rings across the body. They primarily feed on seeds, Jowar, Bajra etc. At times the quails are seen to eat worms and grass hoppers too. These birds are very shy, a single move will make the entire group run away or fly away if threatened. Jungle bush quail gets to about 14 centimeter. This is classified as least concern in the IUCN classification.
