Nice to see this auspicious bird before Durga Puja. Nice eye contact. Why is it looking so desolately? Apprehensive of capture........! The trade is still going on, I heard. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

I had no idea that even Indian rollers are captured for trade. It is also known by the name Neelkanth. That is the name of Shiva in Hindu Mythology. Clearly in front of greed, even God's don't stand a chance.
