    Absolutely hilarious story I’ve got to share:

    I saw a bird today that I wasn’t able to recognize - and I’ve probably seen it for the first time in my life. Most probably, it escaped from the nearby wildlife sanctuary. It was trying to fight a large mongoose, and the screams were frighteningly loud. It looked weird, but beautiful. Kind of like a stork. I was convinced that this bird was a migratory bird.

    It was completely black or brown, I could not figure it out. Had a patch of white on it’s wings. And the head had a little bit of red color, but my eyes are bad, so I couldn’t tell it. Guess the name of the bird?

    Red-naped ibis, also known as the Indian black ibis. Coincidence?
