2 Gorgeous Birds Just Moved Into My Place; Rent Free


Recommended Posts

Those red whiskered bulbuls are stunning birds; always have them chirping through here. Hate to see em caged; the locals prize them for their singing.

Anyone know what this noisy bugger is?

Judging by the length of the legs it's a fast runner whatever it is. I suspect some sort of shore bird that works the edges of ponds, lakes or the seashore.

When I was a kid, we use to catch Linnets and keep them in a cage. Lovely songbirds. They could also be crossed with Canaries.

While we are on the does anyone know. What is that bird brown in colour that sounds like it's an air compressor pressure relief valve blowing off.

It was always around my wife's place out in the sticks. Never came too close. Afraid of getting eaten no doubt.

I have always been too lazy to look that bird up, but yes they are very noisy but quite stunning; and I read in wiki that I need to be aware of these birds as they eat other birds eggs.....another predator on the list.......if these eggs hatch chances are I will knock the tree over with excitement.

Yes, eye-catcher, saw a Coucal pick up all four Bulbul nestlings from a nest just by our window and carry them off to eat once. I tried to scare it off, but no use. At least they eat snakes too though.

That's an aging nok iang, a myna, who's rented elevator shoes for the mating season.

Without wanting to tempt fate; I think we are now in the final happy chapter of this 21 day adventure. My little birds have developed from egg to flying in only 10 days. Today the first of the 3 birds took a flight with “mummy” and no doubt the final two are now waiting for their first flying lesson.


How we have enjoyed following the development of these birds at such close quarters; I just hope in their adulthood they will return to our garden and go through the same process again.
