Birdie in the Wild Series 6

Koel is a very elusive large bird. Size of a black crow but slender with shining greenish black coat. They are loner unless when they want to mate. Shot this bird in Petaling Jaya. At my place there is one but very difficult to sight it but you can hear them calling to lure female mate . The male give out sharp squalling sound which can be deafening.


This flock of tiny birds Cardinals just flew down on the tarmac and I quickly snap them before they flew away. These are field birds. looking at their beak they can crack open nuts and fruits to get to the seed and core. This is the first time I have seen these ones with crested chest.
