Digitalbanana Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Forgot to mention the photo above taken today at Fashion Mall (Wizard Animals!?) in Bangkok. Dislike seeing creatures tethered but the photo came out quite well with my pocket camera indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mousehound Posted April 27, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2015 Wouldn't think webbed feet would be very good for perching on branches but they seem to hang on OK Oriental Darter.JPG Oriental Darter. Nice shot of a Darter - also known as Snake Bird. They have claws on their feet for climbing. The Oriental Darter Anhinga melanogaster is listed as "Near Threatened". Most likely owing to rapidly declining habitat. They are interesting in that they can slowly submerge with just their head showing above water. They stab their prey with that dagger of a beak which also has side serrations to act as barbs. They always manipulate their fish prey so that they can swallow it whole head first. In Asia fishermen have used them, like Cormorants, for fishing - training them to fetch and with the use of a neck ring to prevent the bird swallowing the prey. They are closely related to Cormorants and like them need to dry their wings in the sun. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby nz Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 love their fluffy throats . . . Chestnut-tailed Starling Very aggressive birds they are too, I was keeping an eye on a pair of Spot-breasted Woodpeckers that had made a nest hole in a dead tree when a pair of these Starlings arrived and evicted the Woodpeckers and took over. They raised two chicks in the hole and kept coming back afterwards to make sure no other birds used the nest hole. The tree has fallen now but the Starlings still come back and fly around looking for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a green pidgeon that fancied brightly coloured plastic bag scraps and whe building the nest stuck the pieces into it. Interesting colour scheme to say the least. Thans for the info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
