Indian Birds 
Second year cock: Similar to above, except 
that the two median tail feathers are much 
longer than the others, being 16 inches in 
length. 
Old cocks: The chestnut parts of the plum- 
age turn white. 
This bird undergoes a certain amount of 
local migration. It visits the Punjab in great 
numbers in summer for nesting purposes. The 
nest is like an inverted cone in shape, and is 
usually placed on one of the lower branches of 
a tree. The white cock shares the duties of 
incubation, and as he sits, his long white tail 
feathers hang down several inches beyond the 
bottom of the nest. 
- Fhe bird frequently utters a sharp note 
something like the twitter of a sparrow. The 
cock has also a sweet little song. 
In Burma this species is replaced by an 
allied species—the Burmese Paradise Fly- 
catcher (T. affinis). (Illus. F. IL, p. 13 also 
B. B., p. 76, and G. B. frontispiece.)
