I saw lots of eagles or eagle looking birds over Wanban bridge the other day. I wonder what they were.

My love bird does that too, but not with the speed and skill of that guy.

Reminded me of this pic:

Is that a new kind of bird?

For the love of dog can someone tell me what bird this is? Seen at the Botanical Gardens but i’m guessing exotic as in some old codger’s released it in the park.

It would appear to be a white-rumped shama. It’s native to India and Southeast Asia, and is probably an escaped pet.

Cheers, that’ll be why all the pros with their canons were ignoring it. Very nice singer mind.

Dr_Milker · March 11, 2019, 6:34am

That seems to be the main reason they’re kept as pets. Beautiful bird though.

Edit: (from Wikipedia) “They have been introduced to Taiwan where they are considered an invasive species, eating native insect species and showing aggression towards native bird species.”

Their numbers seem to be increasing.

Sharing today the fabulous bilateral gynandromorph cardinal, AKA the intersex cardinal.

Guessing they are not from Arizona , looking at the background ?
