THE BIRDS OF A MAJUKAb IjaRDEN 217 



Among the winter visitors which come into the 

 garden must be mentioned the beautiful Indian oriole, 

 a study in yellow and black, the Indian redstart, 

 or, to give it its older name, the fire-tail, the grey- 

 headed wagtail, whose under parts are bright yellow, 

 the duU earthy-hued little Sykes's warbler, which 

 hides itself in a bush and keeps on calling out chick, 

 and the grey-headed myna, which, but for the fact 

 that the head and recumbent crest are grey, might 

 easily pass for a brahmany mjnia. 



The birds above enumerated do not form by any 

 means an exhaustive list. Were birds that sometimes 

 come into the garden included, the list would extend 

 to three times its present length.
