Birds

For much of the year, the Bengal Florican remains hidden among tall grasses. During the breeding season, however, the male transforms the quiet grassland into a dramatic stage. He rises above the vegetation in a sudden display flight, revealing bright white wings against a glossy black body before descending into his territory. This unforgettable performance has made the bird one of the most celebrated symbols of the Terai and Brahmaputra floodplain ecosystems.
