    Default Part 2

    I have said that the different phases of time create different spectral environments in the forest. There are a number of birds who display the colours of their feathers in different manners to lure and to select their prospective mates. These colours of their feathers blossom differently in different spectral environment of the forest. The reflectance spectra of their feathers in a suitable ambiance greatly appeal their mates. Thus we may infer that a successful courtship to a great extent depends on the geometry of the forest, on the presence of clouds in the sky, on the angular position of the sun in the sky mainly for the birds who capitalise on the attractive colours of their feathers to attract their partners by courtship display. This is what the researchers, Mr Endler and Mark Thery have disclosed in their another research paper in the year 1995. Therefore, the colourful feathers of the birds or the difficult manoeuvre they perform to attract their partners get greatly stifled unnless there is a suitable, dramatic and ambient spectral environment around them in the forest.

    Let me come back to my topic again about the Manas and the bird. The female bird was at first sitting alone in a branch of tree. The male one at that moment was sitting on another branch of tree.
