Monal is a rare beautiful bird found in Himachal Himalayas. This video was captured in Manali , (Himachal Pradesh-INDIA) "Van Vihar" to introduce tourists with different bird species found in this part of world. The pair of Monals were seen wandering here and there in cage which showed some helplessness in captivity. There was lesser details regarding habitat of these birds and their captivity didnt seem to bear any significance as far as nature preservation is concened. The bird was earlier hunted for its beautiful feathers and adorning crown feather over head part used for decorating traditional Himachal caps !
