What am I? - Jaipur, India (1 Viewer)

As our bus was driving through Jaipur, I got a quick shot at this large bird on a second story patio wall.

Is it a vulture of some sort?

Looks injured or someone clipped it's wings for some reason? Is that something people do - keep vultures around for ....?

Thanks

Seriously???
Ok, so they don't look like that in Minnesota - or they only take pictures of the photogenic ones. ;-)
I guess if I get to the 3rd or 4th pages of my Google search on chickens, they start to look very different.

Thanks.

Yep, turn the tail up through 180° and you've got yourself a chicken. My worst memory was eating a chicken curry made in a Goan jungle lodge using a Red Jungle Fowl before I had seen one in the wild.

Killing one bird is killing one bird, the fact it is wild or domestic (free or slave) doesn't change anything. I can't wait that human will finally stop discrimination.

Sadly, too late Valéry.

By the way, I did not kill the jungle fowl, and I'm sure some of the local humans you employ on your expeditions also catch, buy and consume fowl and mammals.

You brought the subject up Sir, not I.

Quite possibly 'bush meat' too.

I don't think the affluent, developed World, can preach to those who may be watching their kids starve or have empty bellies themselves. Not everyone can afford such expensive principles but this isn't the place for that argument, it's a bird forum.
