PARROTFINCH 1/2 - Pin-tailed Parrotfinch



 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

    1. Last seen was 2 months back in Gunung Nuang. Too far from Penang I guess
