PAKHIR BANGLA NAAM

dr reza khan; drrezakhan@gmail.com

I have given special preferences for the Bangla Naam in my 2010
checklist: Khan, Reza. 2010. Wildlife of Bangladesh-A Cheklist [From
Amphibia to Mammalia] with Bengali Names. Dhaka, Shahitya Prakash,
87 Purana Paltan Line, Dhaka-1000.
Pages 34 to 91 of Pp128 COVER BIRDS.
This portion is dedicated to the bird lovers of Bangladesh so that they can
have ready reference on the Bangla Naam of all birds likely to be present
in Bangladesh.


BIRDS
Class-Aves

All 2-legged, 2-winged feathered creatures, whether flying or flightless,
are birds. They are endothermic or warm-blooded with 4-chambered
heart and reproduce through eggs. We do not have running or flightless
birds in Bangladesh.
Classification follows Sibley and Monroe (1990) barring the arrangement
of genera and species within a family that are largely arranged
alphabetically. Bird names mostly follow:
http://www.zoonomen.net/avtax/frame.html downloaded during 2008.
Information also downloaded from the site http://www.bsc-
eoc.org/avibase/avibase.jsp?pg=homeandlang=EN to get a few up-to-date
names. In case of trinomials nominative race or subspecies mentioned in
the checklist it has been done with proper author citation, e.g., Lanius
vittatus vittatus Valenciennes, 1826. Also for such species the English
name designated for the subspecies have been used.
Bird names related important information can be also accessed from
International Ornithological Congresss (IOC) World Bird List-
http://www.worldbirdnames.org/. For information on Bangladesh species
also refer to the Vol-26 of EFFB- Birds, 2008.

Report of its sighting by
Thompson et al (1993) from
Bhawal Mirzapur in 1988 is
erroneous. Because I visited
the same spot with the same
person who reported it to
Thompson along with 2 other
wildlife lovers the same year
in summer. But there was no
trace of the Peafowl nor were
the villagers able to give any
clue to its occurrence in that
forest. After all a Peafowl is
not a tiny secretive bird that
needs an expert to spot and
identify it.

directed making them zygodactyls, most are brood parasite, do not build
nest but lay eggs in nests of other birds, e.g. crows, mynas, babblers,

Order-Ciconiiformes [Charadriiformes]: an assemblage of wading birds
and waders with too much of size variations.
[Pteroclidae : Sandgrouse. Listing of Sandgrouse Pterocles spp. from
Bangladesh, as reported by Asmat and Hannan (2007), must be considered
a mistake because no past literature supports such an assumption nor do
we have arid/desert conditions to support such species. I have neither seen
nor heard of its presence anywhere in the Rajshahi Division where these
species, if at all present, is likely to be sighted. Chestnut-bellied
Sandgrouse Pterocles exustus is the only species in India whose range
shown to have extended up to western parts of the West Bengal State of
India (Ali and Ripley, 1983). They have specifically mentioned this
species to be absent in Assam and Bangladesh (East Pakistan).]
Scolopacidae: waders with long legs, slender bills, pointed and angular
wings, curlews, sandpipers, snipes, stints and allies.

Cisticolidae: [Muscicapidae] Cisticola and Prinia spp. are difficult to
separate in the field, brownish or greyish very small birds of grassland or
scrub, crop fields, usually with a long tail; very active, insectivore, equal
or smaller than our popular Tuntuni or Tailorbird.
***needs extensive netting for identifying warblers and leaf warblers in
suitable habitats and period, good field guide book is a must.
