I have grown up with these birds and the main thing about these birds is that they commonly found in the group and create lots of noise. The scientific name of Jungle Babbler is Turdoides Striata and one of the common Indian names is Seven Brothers or Seven Sisters. This bird also looks like Angry Bird from the famous cartoon series based on birds. It looks that the cartoonist got the inspiration from Jungle babbler for a few bird characters.

We call them Jungle Babblers, however, I have mostly found them in cities despite being the use of jungle word in their name. It looks that they have adapted well for city life whereas common babblers the other species of them are not that common and I got their pictures by visiting the nearby village. Mostly people love these birds because we commonly found them dancing around us in groups. 

The bird family of these birds is Leiothrichidae and these birds are very common in the Indian Subcontinent. We can see them in forests, gardens and residential areas. I have become quite familiar with these birds and can easily recognize them by their noise. We can recognise them well before their appearance because of their noising nature. The noise they make is because of their sharp and high pitch calls which they make to each other so they can remain in touch with each other. Jungle Babblers provides a great example of team work because of their coordinated effort.

Jungle Babblers have short wings; therefore, they have a short flight. The Jungle Babblers which are found in urban parts are slightly bigger than Jungle Babblers found in non-urban areas. By looking at the current pollution of the Jungle Babblers, it looks that they are on the safe side and presently, there is no threat to them. 

In India, anyone can easily notice these birds if he puts some attention on birds around. It is easy to feed these birds because they love to eat leftovers or fresh food given to them. I have enjoyed a good relationship with them so far and they come very near to me. I have always found Jungle Babblers around me where ever I have lived.

  Because of their noisy nature, we come to know about the presence of Jungle Babblers nearby. These birds are very social in nature and they always move in groups. They eat a variety of food like insects, grains, berries, etc.

I feel fortunate that I grew up with these birds and got a chance to take so many of pictures of Jungle Babbler. These gray-colored birds are very beautiful and they show you many colors of life.

We can learn a few lessons of socialization from Jungle Babbler because they always stay in a group and never leave their group.

How the nest of the Jungle Babbler looks like? - I love Jungle babbler birds because I find them very cute and alive. With time, I am getting more chances to see their life in more detail. Recently, I got a chance to see their nest made at the top of a medium tree. Inside, the nest I aslo find the Jungle babbler bird. There nest is very simple and it is made up of dry grass. They defend very aggressively their nest.
