All these photos are from one walk in the Nilgiris. Let me leave it for you to identify the birds. It is unusual to see all these birds on one day as they are not common inhabitants of the place.
These birds stay around in the same place, unless they are disturbed. In fact it is during the mating season they relocate themselves and look for new mates. Once they establish their territory and found their mates, they do not allow birds of the same family to occupy that space. The birds respect each other's territorial control.
This is the mating season for birds in our campus. I have located five nests which are being made. The male birds take the lead for this. The female bird usually hovers around the nest that is being made.
One fascinating sight is that the habits of the birds change once the nests are made and the eggs are laid. The mother bird is often in the nest or around it and it is the male bird that one often sees.
There is a distribution and sharing of responsibilities even among the avians.
I come across trivial disputes between husbands and wives over chores at home. While, each person carries on discharging his or her own responsibilities, there is an overlap of many responsibilities at home. I know husbands who are most willing to cook and woman who are willing to do the shopping on their own. Many couples complement and take over each other's function according to the need.
The harmony in relationship springs from sensitivity, thoughtfulness, and consideration for each other.
The marriage relationship grows in romance and intimacy as we refresh the relationships with new discoveries and appreciation of each other. What rocks the marriage is not quarrels but staleness and casualness. Does our spouse become dearer to us as we walk together in marriage relationship! Do we communicate this to our spouse!
