Bird of the Day

We got bird nest here so I avoid watering the plant.

Finally found the culprit. Saw him in the park with that distinctive telegram/electric curcuit noise:

Light vented bulbul in Taiwan. From Taiwan birds Twitter

Sorry to say, my cats have caught a couple of these.

This was a really successful breeding season…there’s tons of them out there.

Ha, that seemed like a likely culprit, but I figured you’d know them since one turned up dead on your floor previously (as I remember).

Eh you mean last week? Yep, several. But I haven’t seen them alive and singing.

I remember you posting about it a couple of years back maybe.

Yep. There are many around here. But last week’s cadaver was too mangled. There were just a few green and white feathers for identification.

Yes, it is a bird.


It’s a baby barn owl.

Whoa…looks like a baby alien.
