   They can be seen across Asia, including countries like India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Myanmar.

   They often perch on trees or bushes in sunlit areas, showcasing their striking appearance to the world.
    Females lack the metallic hues found in males, but are no less beautiful.
    Females boast an array of subtle brown and cream colors that blend seamlessly with their surroundings.
