Echoes of Nature: Capturing the Symphony of Hill Mynas and Vibrant Ecosystems in Gavi, Kerala


In the heart of Gavi's eco-tourism sanctuary in Kerala, a striking scene unfolds as a glossy black Hill Myna finds solace on the vibrant red petals of an Erythrina orientalis flower. The glossy sheen of its feathers, white wing patches, and the contrasting hues of its bright orange bill and yellow head wattles create a captivating spectacle against the lush backdrop of foothill forests. This southern Indian and Sri Lankan native, with its melodic croaks and distinctive calls, epitomizes the rich avian diversity that thrives in the canopy. This snapshot not only encapsulates the beauty of the Glossy Black Myna but also serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate ecosystems that demand our appreciation and conservation efforts in this pristine corner of nature. Gavi, with its rare birdlife and picturesque landscapes, stands as a testament to the need for sustainable practices to safeguard the irreplaceable wonders of our natural world.
