There are various kinds of birds in Bangladesh. They are different in colour, shape, size, habit and nature.
A detail of the different kinds of birds is as follows:
The crows and the kites are teasing birds. They are hated by all. The crows are uglier in their habits than the kites. They steal away chickens, fish etc., whenever they get chance. The crows are very cunning. The kites also tease us.
Of the singing birds, the cuckoo is the most popular. It appears in our country at the beginning of the spring when flowers bloom and nature looks beautiful and happy. It hides itself behind leaves. It is noted for its sweet singing. It is called the harbinger of the spring. The poet says--
"0 Cuckoo! shall I call thee Bird, Or but a wandering Voice?" (To the Cuckoo / William Wordsworth.)
The other song birds are the bou-katha-kao, the shalikh, the shyama and the does etc. These birds are also very nice to look at.

The dove, the pigeon, the heron, the snipe, the teal, and the pankauri are called the game birds. They are famous for their tasty flesh. They are found in almost every part of Bangladesh.
The hawk and the kite are the birds of prey. These are the most notorious. They have keen eyes, sharp nails and claws and a sweeping nature.
There are many other common birds like swallow, sparrow and babui. The babui is called the tailor bird. The vulture is another common bird.
Bangladesh is a blessing of God on the earth. Here birds in various ways do good to us. We should not kill the birds indiscriminately. They should be protected as our national asset. They enhance the beauty of our country. However, we should be sympathetic to them and make Bangladesh a happy homeland.
