This is a highly social, noisy bird endemic to southern India and Sri Lanka. Measuring about 23 cm in length, it is distinguished by a contrasting pale head, a bright yellow bill, a dull brownish-gray body with distinct streaking on its breast, and striking bluish-white to pale-blue eyes. They live in noisy, tight-knit flocks of 3 to 15 birds, often called the "Seven Sisters" (along with other related babbler species) because they are almost always seen moving as a group. They feed primarily on insects, caterpillars, and sometimes berries, hopping actively on the ground or in the understory. Highly adaptable, they prefer scrub jungles, cultivations, orchards, and gardens, making them a common sight in both rural and suburban areas.
I cannot help but appreciate the quality of shots like these I got from my old, trusty Canon EOS 550D. It was my first DSLR, and it was by far one of the best budget cameras one could buy at the time. I am sharing this shot from a decade ago as a tribute to the camera I once owned and cherished.
