Pin-tailed Parrotfinch
These must be escapees from Zoo
Negara.........I thought but was advised that they are residents and found in
many places like in Grik Perak. This is my first encounter and at all places in
Rimba Kemensah which have abundance of wild bamboo and the flowering season is
on.
It was about coming to noon on Merdeka day. Had brunch at Tim Fatt in Taman Melawati and just pop by the place to get the elusive common kingfisher. Instead was rewarded with a bunch of Pin-tailed Parrotfinch munching on bamboo flowers and seeds.
Yellow-morph sighted 092019 at Bukit Tinggi
Lucky you, Mike. I have been searching high and low for these fellows. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteLast seen was 2 months back in Gunung Nuang. Too far from Penang I guess
