[Assam] AT Photo- A Quiz: Chutiya Xalika

[DR BIKASH KUMAR DAS]

Haaa... Dada This is known in Darrang and Kamrup as CHUTIYA SHALIKA /XALIKA ( Chutiya Shalka).They are the direct version of original Indian Mynah all because they call talk like you and me. I had one before leaving for Military.She used to talk and if I run will fly behind me and sit on my shoulders... now when I saw this- I only tear for her..She was with us for long and will sit in front of us always like a part of family and look at us.Here also I tried to keep one, but died due to some food poison.Its too painful to miss them.So no more birds to sit on my shoulders..
  This bird is very humanly and available in Bangalore  also.But here people are not like we Axomiya !! Forget about bird, they dnt know the next home.
  Hope al doubt is clear now-
  Bikash

name, Kath Xaalika.Incidentally the widespread , lowly Xaalika Sorai is a Mynah too. It is called Common Indian Mynah.
