Notes from the talking Parrot is an excellent book which I bought a few years ago and the author travels round various places in Pakistan. He mentions the Djinn Masters who live under a famous bridge full of 'Cheels,' big white birds who some believe turn in to Djinn and who steal more food than ordinary seagulls. It is actually a very factual book and is not meant to be a supernatural kind of book but it is more about what could be called hidden culture. For instance parrot fortune telling is used where a parrot pulls out one of a number of fortunes and this is advertised as is shown on the book's cover. The American author speaks Urdu, though I believe Punjabi is more widely spoken in Pakistan than Urdu. He mentioned the white horse ceremony of Zuljannah and I was so interested I got hold of the story and some ancient translated texts about what happened and why Zuljannah is so important.
