My encounter with Brown Rock Chat is very common because a pair of these birds live near my home and I constantly get a chance to see them. I mostly see them in pairs and they don't mind coming close to me. They also enjoy me capturing their pictures and allow me to come close to them.



Sometimes, we even find this bird making sweet calls as shown in the picture below. These small brown birds are capable of making eight different types of calls like threat call, territorial call etc.

These birds may resemble other small birds; however, the best way recognizes them is to see the complete brown color of their body. Somewhere, we can find Brown rock chat in dark brown color and at some places, we can find them in light brown color.
