Blue Whistling Thrush

Blue whistling thrush 'the school boy" can be seen jumping around here and there just like a naughty school boy. it makes a very sweet whistling sound which gives the name whistling thrush. with metallic blue body colour and white spots it can be identified easily. but it is very easy to identify the bird by its peculiar jumping movement. about 30 cms in size and having a very wide range it is believed to represent the world's largest species of thrushes. In Kullu town it is one of the first birds to be heard along with blue-magpie in the mornings.
