White Pekin

White Pekin

The Pekin or White Pekin is an American breed of domestic duck, raised primarily for meat. It derives from birds brought to the United States from China in the nineteenth century and is now bred in many parts of the world. It is often known as the American Pekin and it was included in the first edition of the Standard of Perfection, published in 1874 by the new American Poultry Association. Many of these ducks were reared on Long Island, New York, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, from which the breed derived its name Long Island Duck. On average, Pekin ducks lay between 200 to 300 extra-large white eggs annually. A poultry farm in India is breeding Pekin birds in a natural environment along the Jalangi River bank surrounded by nets, which is quite different from the American environment, at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 20/05/2023.

    Eurasian Collared Dove - Animal India

    Eurasian Collared Dove - Animal India

    The Eurasian collared dove, or Indian ringed dove (Streptopelia decaocto), is a medium-sized species native to Europe and Asia. It has been introduced to Japan, North America, and islands in the Caribbean. The dove is grey-buff to pinkish-grey overall, slightly darker above than below, with a blue-grey underwing patch. It features a distinctive black half-collar edged with white on its nape, from which it derives its name. The Eurasian collared dove is not migratory but is highly dispersive. Over the last century, it has become one of the great colonizers of the bird world, extending its range to colder countries and becoming a permanent resident in several of them. These doves are monogamous. A Eurasian collared dove is perched on a custard apple (Annona reticulata) tree in a forest in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, as of 17 April 2024.

                    Animal India - Fulvous-breasted Woodpecker

                    A Fulvous-breasted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos Macei) Knocks On The Glass Window Of A House's Attic, Then, Intrigued By Its Reflection In The Glass, Tries To Make Sense Of It, Repeatedly Flying Back And Knocking On The Window At Tehatta, West Bengal, India On 30/12/2023. Bird-window Collisions (also Known As Bird Strikes After The Aviation Term Or As Window Strikes) Are A Problem In Both Low- And High-density Urban Areas Worldwide. Birds Strike Glass Because Reflective Or Transparent Glass Is Often Invisible To Them. Birds Can't Perceive Glass As A Barrier, And Often Strike Windows That Reflect The Sky Or Greenery. It Is Estimated That Between 100 Million And 1 Billion Birds Are Killed By Collisions In The United States Alone Each Year, With An Estimated 16 To 42 Million Fatalities In Canada.
