in india this bird is known as FINGE(G as in go), mainly feeds on insects. yes it is a nice sight to see the bird flash out from it's stationary position catch a fly and come back.

even in city outskirt one can see them on high tension wires!

@koojhikjhik Yes, as you said it is a butcher bird -eats insects-. I used to feed it by throwing small balls of mince meat into the air. It then flies and catches them in mid-flight. They are very fast birds and have extraordinary eye sight.

I had no idea they also could be found in India! Thanks for the information and for your comment.

@Nannaroo17 In Australia a "Butcher bird" is a different bird. This is a "Spangled Drongo". Faster and more agile than a Butcher Bird.

@alancsalt Yes, you are right!

My mistake.

Warm regards.

Blue bird,blue bird perched high on the twig,for what reasons do you cried out so loud ? is it hunger pain or is it because you've searched in vain,but unsucessful in finding your soulmate,the One that never made it past the winter season.Spring have arrived,life goese on lil one.The humand kind often mistake your sorrowful cries for happy bird songs,ignorant to the fact that all creatures have their seasons of joys and sorrows...
