Jataka Story - The king parrot

     Once upon a time there lived thousands of parrot in the jungle, near a village called 

Bamunugama, in Rajagaha. Buddha was born as a parrot, who ruled the flock of these birds

In this village there was a paddy field belonging to a brahmin called Kosiyagotta. When the

 crop was ready for harvest, the brahmin assigned a watchman to guard the paddy field.

Parrot and a brahmin

      The king parrot and his flock visited the field to eat to their heart content. The watchmen was
 helpless as the flock was too large for him to drive away. Each parrot enjoyed the meal and flied
away but the King parrot every time came and took a mouthful of corn with him as he flied away.
This was surprise for watchmen who informed the brahmin about the King parrot.
