I was awoke by the sweet song of oriental magpie robin at early dawn.The weather was very pleasant.Spring breeze was washing away my fatigue.I peeped out from my window of fourth floor apartment.The light darkness and haze conspired together to make a lovely scene.The song of magpie robin was transformed into a chorus.I felt that the lovely bird was the harbinger of dawn.
The magpie robin is a wonder bird.Very simple,yet very beautiful.It knows how to allure you,seduce you and finally win your heart.The precise name of the song bird is oriental magpie robin.Its scientific name is Copsychus
saularis.It belongs to the group of passerine birds.The bird could amaze the poets and politicians of Bangladesh by their beauty and power of singing.Hence this oriental magpie robin was adjudged to be the national bird of Bangladesh.The whole population accepted the naming and thus the image of the bird is used freely on currencies ,structures,songs and poems.
As I looked outside,I could not see a single oriental magpie robin.But the stream of melodious song flooded the whole area.Perhaps,they were in the canopies of coconut plants or on the roof tops.Their songs were interrupted by the calls of crow which started to emerge from their nests to work as the natural scavenger.I saw a female sweeper too in the morning twilight who already started to sweep the street below.She is paid by the City Corporation for her work as a sweeper.I saw a group of little girls walking past the sweeper.All of them carried a plastic sack against their elbows.They were freelancer poor girls who collected waste papers and materials for their living.I don’t know how those little girls enjoyed the sweet song of the harbinger of the dawn or the harsh notes of the ugly crows when they were moving to unknown destinations for a small amount of money to live until the following day.
I also saw a group of pious persons heading towards the nearby mosque to say their morning prayer.They regularly attend the congregation in the mosque.Though they were awakened by Azan pronounced by the muezzin,they were moving slowly under the melodious notes of the harbinger of dawn and harsh calls of crows.
The oriental magpie robin is a passion for all bird lovers.This bird welcomes us to rise from the sleep and be
active for the day’s activities.I love this bird and feel a kind of divine pleasure.I hope this bird will always live with the humans like a beloved friend.
