Beautiful Animals

The name "Changa Manga" comes from the old story of two brother thieves, Changa and Manga, who used to hide in thick forests, along with their loots. Over the passage of time the stories have been molded into adventures that every child in that area is told, with added morals. Soon afterwards, Salvation Army opened up a camp at the forest site as a place for reformation of criminals.

The forest covers an area of 48.6 sq km (12,000 acres) and is one of the largest man-made forests in the world. The planting and irrigation of the land took place in the 19th century under the British Raj due to the need for timber for the Indian Railways network. The most common species of trees are sheesham (Dalbergia sissoo), kikar (Acacia nilotica), both members of the Fabaceae native to the Indian subcontinent, white mulberry (Morus alba) which is popular in cultivation throughout South Asia, or Eucalyptus and Populus species.

Excellent. I don't clip any of Rudy's secondaries or primaries and never have. I don't even keep him in a cage, either. I built a custom perch for him to bounce around it and it's open so he doesn't feel caged in. Small ladder for him to climb back up in case he falls off. It's A LOT of work to keep a bird of that size happy and healthy but the rewards of that friendship is worth it. They are special and very smart.

Good luck with the breeding, Grey Parrots are the best talkers.

On the theme of this @ghazi52 thread, I'm guessing it's just about beautiful animals and not necessarily just animals of Pakistan, so how about this beauty? North American bald eagle from a rare angle.

So this was in Mexico during the Pope's visit there, and this pooch thought it was all about him.
Check out his strutting down the center of the cobblestone road and he's probably thinking to himself "wow, I never realized I had so many admirers! woof woof!"
