Apparently, in some regions where Cattle Egrets do not primarily associate with cattle but with other animals, their name in the local language changes accordingly. So, you would have a “Hippopotamus Egret”, a “Rhinoceros Egret” or an “Elephant Bird” ( source ).

Nowhere else in Africa do the preconceived ideas of the continent really exist in such living detail; tall, red-robed Maasai herding their skinny cattle, endless grasslands studded with flat-topped Acacia trees and grazed by herds of zebras and wildebeest, and dramatic volcanic calderas brimming with big game and fierce predators!

For the moment I’ll stick with the split babbler families although I may relump the laughingthrushes, ground and tree babblers per Molye et al (2012). Species are listed by family according to the order eBird spits them out to me in. Cattle Egret ( Bubulcus ibis ); Lahad Datu, Borneo, 1 January. CORACIIDAE (ROLLERS).

Can the whole family live together in harmony during the school holidays? Rhinoceros Hornbill – Buceros rhinoceros. Cattle Tyrant – Machetornis rixosa. Cattle Egret – Bubulcus ibis. Is it wrong of me to go birding to get away from the kids now that they are at home all day? Bravo if you have.
