The friends, with whom I am staying in India for six months, have a lovely
apartment on the 7th floor in Bandra West, one of Mumbai's more posh
areas. I am always amazed to see the frequent visitors to their window -
kites of every age and size. Of course, Rosy cooks chicken feet which she
throws out to them - & they swoop right up to the window for this effortless
meal! If she didn't shut the screen quickly, I'm sure one would end up in
the kitchen!

HI Rnsane Great shots of a wonderful birds. My WBW is somewhat smaller!!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing, to me, that these birds of prety come right up to our kithen window for a handout!
DeleteWow! That would be a much bolder guest than the little hummingbird that made it's way into our kitchen! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty big birds! With a wingspan like theirs, I don't think we could get them out of the house. We have to don gloves and try to grab them!
DeleteThat's a rather imposing bird-- I would really not like to have it in my kitchen!
ReplyDeleteThankfully, during my time here the birds stay on the outside. But to get good pictures. I have to open the big screen in the kitchen.
DeleteGreat photos and very interesting to have such big birds coming so close.
ReplyDeleteTheir desire for free food handouts certainly makes
Deletephotographing them much easier!
By the size of that bird I would keep the door closed.
ReplyDeleteWhen my friend, Rosy opens the screen and throws out those chicken feet, it is amazing at the number of kites that appear from nowhere. It's funny because this is a definitely a city, with very few open spaces around.
DeleteHandsome birds!
ReplyDeleteThey are very patient, waiting for their food handouts. I don't think there are many small animals or rodents around here for them to hunt.
DeleteHi there - nice looking bird - I remember seeing heaps of Kites in India - it was the firts time I had ever seen them.
ReplyDeleteFamiliar birds are fine - what may be familiar to you could be exotic to me!
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne!
I've never seen kites up close and personal, except here in India. Occasionally, at home in San Francisco, I will see hawks soaring.
