Jungle Babbler

The Jungle Babbler -  we call this 'Chhatre pakhi'  in Bengali. These noisy birds usually live in flocks of seven or ten or more. They are seen to continuously chatter, squeak or chirp wherever they are. These birds are very common in India, particularly in Northern India and often found in cities and towns. 
Now it is hot summer! This bird is probably looking for water.
