    7 most colourful birds of Indian forests

    Among the most biodiverse places on the planet, India's forests range from the alpine forests of the Himalayas to the rain-soaked evergreen forests of the Western Ghats and the jungles of Northeast India. These habitats are not only biodiversity hotspots for the wildlife enthusiast; they are visual feasts for the bird enthusiast. Thick canopies, ancient trees, forest clearings, and riverine corridors create the perfect stage for birds whose colours, calls, and courtship displays feel almost unreal. Some birds are impressive because of their iridescence, some because of their size, and some because of their extravagant tails, and many of them are crucial to the health and regeneration of our forests, making India perhaps the most rewarding country in the world to birdwatch.
