Bar-headed geese( Anser indicus) adapted to fly at altitudes of up to 25,000 feet, where the air is thin and cold. They can also fly non-stop for as long as seven hours across the Himalayas. 

They use a variety of strategies to cope with the extreme environment, such as flying in V-shaped formations, adjusting their flight speed and altitude, and using tailwinds and thermals to save energy.

Bar-headed geese have a distinctive black-and-white head and neck pattern that helps them recognize each other and communicate visually and vocally while flying in flocks. They also have an orangey-yellow bill and legs that contrast with their pale grey body.

Some important and rare facts about the grey-rumped treeswift is
It belongs to the Hemiprocnidae family, which is closely related to true swifts, but unlike true swifts, the treeswifts are arboreal in nature, meaning they spend most of their time perched on trees and other structures.

It builds a fragile nest on a tree branch, made from hardened saliva interspersed with feathers, mosses, and/or flakes of tree bark. The nest is attached only on one side to the branch, forming a half-saucer shape. The single egg is reportedly attached to the nest surface with saliva.

It does not sit directly on the nest for incubation, but perches on the branch above the nest and fluffs its breast feathers out to cover it. Both sexes help incubate the egg and care for the young.
