🦅Brahminy Kite
Bramiinihaukka (Haliastur indus) on haukkojen heimoon kuuluva päiväpetolintu. Sen levinneisyysalueeseen kuuluvat Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Kambodža, Kiina, Intia, Indonesia, Laos, Macao, Malesia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua-Uusi-Guinea, Filippiinit, Singapore, Salomonsaaret, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thaimaa, Itä-Timor ja Vietnam. Muuttolintuna sitä tavataan seuraavissa maissa: Bhutan, Hongkong, Malediivit, Palau, Vanuatu. Sitä tavataan myös Arabiemiraateissa, mutta alkuperä tuntematon. Lajin kannan suuruudeksi arvioidaan alle 100 000 yksilöä ja Kiinassa arvioidaan olevan alle sata pesivää paria. Kanta on kuitenkin pienenemässä etenkin Kaakkois-Aasiassa. Syynä on elinalueiden supistuminen, liiallinen tuholaismyrkkyjen käyttö, mahdollisesti myös yleinen hygienia, jolloin syötävää jätettä on tarjolla vähemmän. Sen elinpiiriä ovat sisämaan järvet ja suot sekä merenrannikko vuorovesialueella ja mangrovekasvusto vuoroveden yläpuolella.
