Observation details
This male Shikra was in my bird bath when I looked in that direction and his body was fully wet.I had been reporting about the repeated forceful exahalation/breathing of Shikras through mouth after they fully wet/drench their bodies and also when preening/drying their bodies.I have also uploaded few videos in this regarded.It is important to note that Shikras never exhibit this behaviour if they do not wet their body.Also this behaviour is exhibited by different individuals both male and female which come to my bird bath for quite some time. Accordingly this male Shikra was also exhibiting this behaviour of repeated exhalation/breathing through mouth.Then he moved up to the perch above bird bath and after few seconds flew away.Video uploaded.
