I had a good opportunity of watching this 

 bird. A nest of 6 yoang birds was in an 

 old Mango tree, easily accessible, and the 

 birds were visible from the ground. The 

 parent birds remained by day in a tree 

 close by, and came out to feed the young at 

 dusk, one sitting on the watch while the 

 other went for food. The young birds flew 

 away one by one, as they grew up.
