Malabar Trogon

*Malabar Trogon is listed in Indian Birds-of-Paradise

Blue eye shadow, blue beak, black innocent eyes - bleak
Chestnut back with designed grey gown and tail ~ misspeaks
He with a white necklace, she a smooth ochred chested
Silent birds still in bare forests at God's behest

Congratulations on your 4th place win, Thriveni. It was interesting to learn about the Malabar Trogon. The trailing rhyme (chested/behest) was perfectly executed. (Yes, ‘chested’ is the adjective of ‘chest’.) See my soup mail for details to claim your prize.

I am so glad you like bird watching dear poet. Malabar Trogan is elusive and silent bird. It hurts to see even such gentle lives being pushed over due to lack of forest cover. Thank you for your kind words, Yes I am from Mysore, SouthIndia. Thank you Cheers.
