RE: Garden Visitor White Eared Barbet Bird

in #animalsunday • 6 years ago (edited)

In my state Kerala we have many common birds with beautiful voice, In that I personally like the one who can imitate human voice if kept in captivity as parrots.

My another favorite common bird is the one with cap.

    We have the Myna bird over here...

    Indian Myna (Acridotheres tristis)

    The Indian Myna, Acridotheres tristis, is native to southern and south-eastern Asia and was introduced to South Africa in about 1900.

    A few individuals introduced into Natal multiplied into millions, and are now found over a large portion of eastern South Africa. They are now considered as one of the world's 100 worst alien invasive species (Global Invasive Species Specialist Group) and do not warrant protection. Myna's compete aggressively with many indigenous species, and tend to replace them in areas where Myna populations are well established. https://www.sanparks.org/groups/birders/alien_birds.php

    The second picture looks a fascinating bird, not seen in our part of the world that I know of @dhaneshpk

      Yes, the 1st bird is called Myna in our local language. As it can imitate human voice like a parrot[ Thattha-in local language] Myna is also known as Madathattha.

          We get the bulbul but never seen one like that, it is rather pretty.

          Our bulbul has yellow feathers around it's bottom, brown wings and black head as well.
