This photograph, dated 1933, showcases the vibrant and striking features of a Green Avadavat (Amandava formosa), a native bird species from the Indian subcontinent. The Avadavat is a medium-sized bird, with an oval body shape and a distinctive combination of green and yellow plumage. The male bird, as depicted in this image, is easily identifiable by its bright green head, neck, and upperparts, contrasted with its yellow underparts and black stripes running down its sides. The Green Avadavat is a resident breeder in South Asia, and is commonly found in open grasslands, marshes, and wetlands. They are omnivorous birds, feeding on a variety of seeds, fruits, and insects. Their dietary habits, along with their distinctive appearance, make them a beloved and iconic species in the Indian avian community. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the natural beauty of the Green Avadavat in its prime. The image captures the bird in a moment of stillness, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details of its markings and the richness of its colors.

The Green Avadavat remains a popular subject among bird enthusiasts and photographers, and continues to captivate audiences with its unique appearance and fascinating habits.
