Sunbirds of Sepilok

10,000 Birds

The somewhat shoddily edited Wikipedia entry on sunbirds states that there are 145 species in one paragraph and then talks about 146 in the next. There isn’t really a lot of interesting information on the individual sunbird species – but the photos hopefully still make this a post worth looking at.

The Reva Situation

10,000 Birds

People came to see what it was all about, with their children and pets, rambling around the green oasis for the first time.

Laughing at you, not with you

10,000 Birds

Not bad given that the 5 families in the inner circle of the laughingthrush family have a combined number of about 68 species.

Talking Starlings

10,000 Birds

This particular species is not native to New Zealand (similar to its status in North America). In areas where starlings are introduced, the laws for keeping them as pets are relaxed. The woman in the video found it as a chick at a few days old and hand reared it. This is not the first talking European Starling on YouTube.

Get Thee To A Wildlife Rehabilitator

10,000 Birds

And they would realize that any species whose young tried to nurse with a pointed beak would be a short-lived species. A pet cat raising orphaned ducklings! Explanations are simple: only a mother rabbit or a highly trained rehabilitator has a chance of raising and releasing a healthy wild bunny. How cute!

Post Apocalyptic Steampunk Birding

10,000 Birds

These large parrots are popular in the pet trade, and that’s a likely source of the population of this species on Trinidad. Somewhere in the distance, the faint call of a Grey-headed Kite echoed, marking the second species I recorded for the morning that I never previously had at that location (the first was Striped Cuckoo).
