astronomy-to-zoology: Long-tailed Broadbill (Psarisomus dalhousiae)
…is a species of passerine bird endemic to the Himalayas, Southeast Asia and parts of Indonesia.

The long-tailed broadbill is also highly sociable and can often be seen in large noisy parties that are especially loud during the mating season.
