chakravaka | चक्रवाक
chakravaka (Devanagari: चक्रवाक ISO15919: cakravāka) is the ruddy sheldrake or Brahminy duck: a large orange-brown duck also called chakai, chakava or chakvai.
They have a peculiar characteristic. As the night falls the male and female turn away from each other. As the dawn breaks they face each other. This characteristic is often used in poetry to signal that dawn is here.
