This is Part -2 of a two-part series on city birds that are most commonly seen around the 5 metropolises of India. Part -1 is available on EyeMags under the heading Common Indian City Birds and is available for download here: http://m.eyemags.com/12749

Not all the species are common in all the cities and some do not even occur in some places.
The thought behind these pages is to familiarize beginners to know these birds which share a common urban environment a little better.
A word about the species covered. All these birds share one thing in common - they are very adaptive and can cope with varied climatic conditions, food sources and nesting/roosting sites. Most are gregarious and mid-sized.
