Black Kite close up

The black kite (Milvus migrans) is a medium-sized bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes many other diurnal raptors. It is thought to be the world's most abundant species of Accipitridae, although some populations have experienced dramatic declines or fluctuations. Current global population estimates run up to 6 million individuals. Unlike others of the group, black kites are opportunistic hunters and are more likely to scavenge. They spend a lot of time soaring and gliding in thermals in search of food. Their angled wing and distinctive forked tail make them easy to identify. They are also vociferous with a shrill whinnying call. This kite is widely distributed through the temperate and tropical parts of Eurasia and parts of Australasia and Oceania, with the temperate region populations tending to be migratory. Several subspecies are recognized and formerly had their own English names. The European populations are small, but the South Asian population is very large.

Poor thing, what a place to keep him, in bright lights, beside a busy road. The bird is obviously going insane. Well done, Indian wildlife conservation!

[@jayntsngh]

Moron !! this wasn't wild life conservation. that was just a periah kite standing on a person's shop. this species is not endangered in India. you can see this bird anytime you want. if a pigeon sit on your roof you will call wild life sanctuary ?? and this is not America where every person keep flesh of cow, pork in the fridge. most of the people are vegetarians not animal killers. and for your information Indian wild life conservation are working far better than that of your country's. where people kill a cougar to save a dog.
