Shot on 8mm film in 1946, this vintage home movie captures two pink ibises at a park in Calcutta, India. The birds, with their distinctive long curved beaks and pale pink plumage, stand near a water basin on a paved surface. One ibis walks slowly while the other lowers its head, possibly drinking or foraging. The footage exhibits natural film grain, slight color fading, and the characteristic soft focus of mid-century amateur cinematography. This archival clip offers a rare glimpse of wildlife in a colonial-era Indian urban setting, evoking nostalgia and historical curiosity.
