Birds live and die within nature’s aviarium; all birds are unique and have their natural traits, blueprints of behavior, and life history. They need food, cover, perch, bathing water holes, and clear skyways. The avifauna of Nepal is biologically diverse. Well over 875 species have been recorded, about a tenth of the world’s known birds. The Spiny Babbler (Turdoides nipalensis) is the new species first described in Nepal by Martens and Eck.
