But as I came home and started reviewing the pictures I noticed a peculiar thing. As the bird was shaking its head, which I mistook for its threat display, a sort of white liquid oozed out of its mouth. The frame of the snapshot froze in that very moment!
I was quite surprised to see this weird behavior of the bird. It was sitting there on a dry earthen hillock for at least ten minutes, if not more. I did not see it drinking water or eating any other thing in that period of time. I did not see it taking a bath either so that it will eject water which might enter in its nostrils during bathing. Then, what was that liquid which it discharged from its mouth? I searched for informations from the internet and rummaged many books and journals to find a suitable answer, discussed the matter with my wild life specialist friends. And at the end I came to a fascinating conclusion. What was that conclusion?
