We often hear and use some idioms without understanding their meaning properly. The above Indian (Hindi) idiom “Does he/she have feathers of Surkhab?” often refers to a person who has lot of airs about him/her or has attitude. Their scientific name is Chrysolophus pictus and belong to the fowl family. In India this bird is known as Surkhab . In fact very few people have actually seen this bird.These birds are very shy and can sense danger or natural disasters. Since they have very colorful and beautiful feathers, a person with exceptional style, sophistication or with a very delicate disposition is sarcastically referred to as ‘Having feathers of Surkhab’ (उसके कोनसे सुरखाब के पर लगे हुए हैं ) ? I had also heard and used this phrase without knowing as to what exactly is Surkhab till . Recently ( I am 78 years of age) at which point the curiosity got the better of me and I started searching for the bird Surkhab.
The Viral videos on Social Media state about the bird "Surkhaab":
It's price is Rs. 25 lacs. Nineteen photographers have spent 62 precious days and only then they were able to shoot this video.
I was confused but was sure it must be a colorful and beautiful bird. My search on the net revealed 4 different birds claimed to be Surkhab
