Turdus boulboul
Nepali Name: मदना चाँचर Madana Chaanchar

(female) Raniban Forest (Shivapuri-Nagarjun National Park), Kathmandu, Nepal. 1350m. 10 January, 2014. Photo: Ashish Shrestha.

Notes:
1. The males sing beautifully during the breeding season in May-June. It is sought after as a cage bird because of its melodious song. You can hear it here: http://www.xeno-canto.org/19718
2. Coexists with the White-collared Blackbird.
3. Doesn’t seem to react to playback outside of the breeding season.
