Random Bird Thursday: A Crepuscular Species That Is Not Actually Magical
Thursday, 30 April, 2026

In each Random Bird Thursday (RBT) episode, the goal is to highlight a bird species that probably isn't going to get featured in a full-length podcast episode. These are birds we might overlook, even though they certainly deserve some appreciation and attention. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~⚠️ SPOILER ALERT!The featured species in this episode is the Jungle Owlet (Glaucidium radiatum).Sound Citations:Dr S S Suresh, XC1102415.
