Crested treeswift male

Muthyala Maduvu, Anekal, Karnataka

Crested tree swift is titled as a star bird in 2024 due to show up in a broader way along with its nest and chick. There were 3 dead long trees where it nested and hatched total 3 chicks.

When the chicks were too small, male bird always try to protect his baby by sitting beside it and feed it now and then. It always twitters and flying around that tree and look after its baby. The color of the male adult bird is pretty vibrant and the body strict is pretty steady. And that crest looks like a super cool spikes of human hair.

This is the baby picture when it was 3 weeks old. That time it rarely move its neck. Mom and dad used to come now and then, feed and fly around twittering. It was a lovely show though.
