Bird of Maharashtra

The green pigeon is flying into the sunset. And the forest owlet, a bird that is active during the day unlike its cousins, is set to strut in the diffused morning light when it is coronated the state bird of Maharashtra. The honour is being taken away from the green pigeon because it has just dawned on the state that this bird isn’t unique to Maharashtra; it is found also in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
