The wilderness of Madhya Pradesh hosts one of the most beautiful avian residents in the world, the Indian Paradise Flycatcher. Christened as the state bird of MP in November 2001, it has been a sought-after subject of many birdwatchers and photographers. Manish Shukla, an intrepid bird photographer from the city of Bhopal happened to come across a nest of this beautiful bird and was able to visually document the amazing nesting cycle of this species right from incubation to the chicks fledging to adulthood. The film has been directed and narrated by naturalist and film-maker, Shashank Birla, edited by Shristi Rani, along with additional video and image contributions by Avinash Bhagat, Dipu Karuthedathe, Vipul Saxena and music composed by Rafael Krux.

It is truly a bird from paradise. I was sitting in our house front porch and sang a song praising God for his creation. This paradise bird showed up, sand a song and quickly flew off . It was the first time I had seen the bird. It looked so magical with the white long tail and bright blue head.

Hi Thanks for this beautiful video. I vividly remember seeing this bird in my college campus in the year 2004. I was sitting in a bench in our campus alone. I heard a long ribbon moving upwards and I was so surprised to find out it was a bird's tail. None of my friends believed me. However I learnt the name.of the bird only few years ago.

We are very glad you found this bird, but would not advise handling it. Wild birds may carry a number of parasites, viruses and the act can be unsafe for both the handler and the bird.

@ShashankBirla Год назад

Hello, the Indian paradise flycatcher is usually seen in two colors (morphs) - white and light orange (there may be some birds that display a bit of both - white and orange). The first bird you have described fits the description of the same. We are not sure about the other birds mentioned.

@anagramlover 3 года назад

Great movie and narration! A rare treat to the eyes. Thank you, Shashankji. I came across this bird in the forests of Sirsi, Karnataka, three years ago, and could only manage a few shots of this beautiful bird from a distance. Couldn't find its name, though, so far. Only today could I get to know its name, from an avid bird enthusiast whom I met accidentally. She identified the bird as a male Bird of Paradise, which she had seen in Udaipur.

I have seen a female paradise flycatcher with a very long tail, longer than the male shown in the above video. Is this common?

@ShashankBirla Год назад

The male can be seen in different morphs, it can be rufous orange as well with a long tail, pure white or even a combination of the two shades. The birds with a long tail would be the male.

@thakursaab7950 4 года назад

Here in South Western up these birds are quite rare but I have seen some of them.

They are a resident species through most of India, but they do make seasonal local movements. In the Southern Western Ghats, according to eBird, they tend to be observed more in the winter and early summer months.

If it was completely black, then it is unlikely to be an Indian paradise flycatcher. Please check if it might have been a drongo.
