Birdspeak

Just a random thought of thankfulness.

There's a wide species of birds residing in my area. At least to the layman me, I feel there's really many different birdies here.

Growing up, I only ever saw sparrows and mynahs. For some reason, in the past few years here in Telok Kurau, and especially in the past 3 months when I've been home all the time, I've discovered so many different birdies here!

Many parakeets around - blue ones, green ones, yellow ones.
Orioles too...yellow and black ones...I googled and I think they're called Black-Naped Orioles.
Hornbills and koels too...though koels seem to be around lesser these days.

Went for a walk yesterday and saw many sunbirds (I think they are sunbirds) congregating in a clump of bushes...playing around and darting about with each other...

And of course, the ubiquitous sparrows and mynahs and pigeons and doves....

And should I include the neighbourhood chickens too? haha....there's a family of at least 6 roosters 6 hens and maybe 3-4 younger ones hanging around about 500m from our house...

Listening to all the birds chirping each morning has been quite the luxury...:)
Brings more depth and cheer to the environment....
