Explanation:

Bird	Description
Peacock	Peacock is the national bird of India. It is bluish-green in colour. They have a crest on their head. Peacocks are known as wonderful dancers. They cry aloud before the rain.
Eagle	Eagles are large birds of prey, meaning that they hunt and eat animals for food.  They fly high in the sky and aim at their prey. They prey upon mouse, snakes, fishes and other small animals. They are diurnal birds, which means they sleep at night. They have eyes on the sides of their heads have a wide visual field. It is useful for detecting preys. They can focus on two different things at a time. When they look straight ahead, both their eyes focus on the same object. They don't have to move their heads to see around. They can see four times as far as we can. Eagles have a long feathered tail that opens like a fan when it flies giving it a grooved appearance.
Cuckoo	A cuckoo bird never makes its nest. It lays its egg in the nest of a crow. This ensures that there's a higher chance of clutch formation. (The clutch is the number of eggs laid). The cuckoo's eggs resemble those of the crow in pattern and colour, which helps them in nesting. The cuckoo is a brood parasite which means it lays eggs on other birds' nest.
Tailor bird	The tailorbird has a beak like a sharp sewing needle with a curved tip. A tailorbird makes a series of holes with its long slender bill and then draws plant fibre, insect silk, or even stolen household thread through the holes to form separate loops, which are knotted on the outer side.  The long-tailed tailorbird frequents gardens from India to southern China and Java. It measures 5 inches long, with a narrow tail that is carried cocked up. The bird is yellowish-green above and whites below, with a red-brown cap.

Thus the correct match is (a) - (ii), (b) - (i), (c) -(iv), (d) - (iii).
