ORNATE SUNBIRD Nest building, Singapore
It seemed the female Ornate Sunbird was in charge of interior decor, as she flew in & out busily bringing nesting materials to cushion the lining of her completed nest. Fortunately, she had some bird to cheer her on! Her male partner! He was perched on top, merrily chirping his support. Never once did he attempt to help!😅
Formerly called the Olive-backed Sunbird, it now has a new name, the Ornate Sunbird.

Juvenile ORIENTAL MAGPIE-ROBIN adept at hunting!
Переглядів 764 години тому
Though still at a tender age, this little juvenile Oriental-Magpie Robin was already a good hunter, picking up earthworms with ease. But before it could feast on the worms, it had a slight problem with a previous meal, possibly a pellet, which caused it to regurgitate with much effort. Instead of the glossy black of its adult counterpart, the Juvenile Oriental Magpie-robin sports dark greyish s...
A sun-bathing SLATY-BREASTED RAIL, Singapore
Переглядів 2817 годин тому
It was a delightful surprise to meet this shy bird out in the open sunbathing on a hot sunny day. The Slaty-breasted Rail is an uncommon resident in Singapore. It is also very wary by nature, thus making a meeting with it all the more precious. #sgbirds #sgnature #sgwildlife #sgbiodiversity #cityinagarden #AnimalBuzzSG #nparksbuzz #cityinnature

Close-up BANDED WOODPECKER, Singapore

A real treat to be able to admire the closeup of this uncommon resident, the Banded Woodpecker. It was perched quietly in the gardens in early hours of the morning. As it remained still for a long time, I had the rare chance to feast my eyes on its gorgeous fiery-red plumage, with gold emblazoned over its back, complete with a "mohawk" which looks as if it were on fire! Banded Woodpeckers are u...

It has recently been spotted in many nature parks in Singapore, possibly a very good sign that this uncommon ...
Brood Parasitism: GOLDEN-BELLIED GERYGONE raised a Cuckoo Chick instead!
Переглядів 40День тому
This is an example of brood parasitism, a strategy practised by the cuckoo species. The nesting Golden-bellied Gerygone had her eggs substituted by the parents of the Little Bronze Cuckoo. The former ended up unwittingly raising the cuckoo chick as its own. Indeed, it continued feeding this chick even after the latter had fledged. Little Bronze Cuckoos are common residents in Singapore. They ar...

    How did it end up in SG ? A mystery . If it can live happily in SG , then probably it would be easy for them to breed as well . I know it sounds crazy as birds of paradise are native to New Guinea . But if it's their fate to settle down in SG then we can see lots of funny birds jumping & dancing/bouncing around . That must be lots of fun .
