Bangladesh is a land of uncommon natural beauty with her murmuring river, green fields , trees , flowers and fruits . In the same way, her birds also have added to her beauty and charm.
There are various kinds of birds in Bangladesh. They are different in colour , shape , size , habit and nature.
A detail of the different kinds of birds is as follows :-
The crows and the the kites are teasing birds. They are hated by all. The crows are uglier in their habits than the kites. They steal away chickens, fish etc., whenever they get chance. The crows are very cunning. The kites also tease us.
Of the singing birds, the cuckoo is the most popular. It appears in our country at the beginning of the spring when flowers bloom and nature looks beautiful and happy . It hides itself behind leaves. It is noted for for its sweet singing . It is called the harbinger of the spring. The Poet says--
"O Cuckoo! shall I call thee Bird,
Or but a wandering Voice?"
(To the Cuckoo / William Wordsworth.)

The parrot, the mayna , the chandan, the kakatooa , the martin are called talking birds. They are nice looking . They can imitate human voice if they are trained.
The dove , the pigeon, the heron , the snipe. the teal and the pankauri are called the game birds. They are famous for their tasty flesh. They are found in almost every part of Bangladesh.
The hawk an the kite are the birds of prey. These are the most notorious . They have keen eyes, Sharpe nails and claws and a sweeping nature.
There are many other common birds like swallow, sparrow and babui. The babui is called tailor bird.The vulture is another common bird.
Bangladesh is blessing of Allah on earth. Here birds in various ways do good to us. We should not kill the birds indiscriminately. They should be protected as our national asset. They enhance the beauty of country. However, we should be sympathetic to them and make Bangladesh a happy homeland.
