Teetar Black Francolin

The Teetar, also known as the Black Francolin (Francolinus francolinus), is a bird species found in various parts of South Asia, including India, Pakistan, and Nepal. It is a member of the francolin family of birds.

The Black Francolin is known for its striking appearance. The male bird has a black plumage with white speckles and a prominent black patch around its eyes. It also has a distinct reddish-brown beak and legs. The female bird, on the other hand, has a more subdued brown plumage with darker streaks.

Both male and female Black Francolins have a loud and distinctive call, which is often referred to as the "Teetar call" or "Teetar ki awaz." The call is a series of sharp and repetitive "teetar" or "trrr-trrr-trrr" sounds, which can be heard during the breeding season and often in the early morning or evening.

The Black Francolin is primarily found in grasslands, agricultural fields, and scrubby areas. It feeds on a variety of seeds, grains, insects, and small invertebrates. The bird is known for its strong and rapid flight and can often be seen running through the undergrowth.

It is worth noting that the term "Teetar" is commonly used to refer to both the Black Francolin (Francolinus francolinus) and the Grey Francolin (Francolinus pondicerianus) in different regions of South Asia, leading to some confusion. However, in general, the term "Teetar" most commonly refers to the Black Francolin.
