Chickens in our garden! They visit only in the early mornings and late evenings, generally shunning humans. Sometimes they lay eggs in the open, which resemble regular eggs. These birds are different from domestic fowl in that they are smaller and can easily fly for hundreds of feet at the first sign of danger.
They breed in thickets and we often find little chicks who venture out even in daytime, though the broods are smaller.
I wonder if these are endemic to the Western Ghats. You can see a few wild pigeons too, in one of the pictures.
