Good one Vikram. The "Teetehree" is very much like this bird.

This is a clipping from one of the best documentaries ever produced “Animals are Beautiful People”, about the Kalahari. A must watch.

Hi Guys!
> Vikram - the clipping was superbly captured.
> In the Indian Jungles we have a "cousin"(!!!) of this Go Away Bird - THE RACKET TAIL DRONGO.
> It's known to warn when a Leopard or Tiger is on the prowl.
> Langurs also act as a Warning Signal especially when Chital go to a watering hole - where Tigers lay in wait.
> The checks & balances in nature are truly amazing!!!
Cheers

Moral of the story - A broiled 'go away' bird in hand is better than a dozen Zebra Steaks in the bush!
