Birds (பறவைகள்)

Tap any tile to hear the Tamil word spoken.

The collective is பறவைகள் (paṟavaigaḷ) — from பற (“to fly”). The eight below cover the birds you’ll most often see in a Tamil town: domestic poultry (சேவல், கோழி), parks and trees (காகம், மயில், கிளி, புறா), and a couple of less-common visitors (ஆந்தை, குருவி).
