Close up of Birdie

ricleo · 1st May 2004

This little guy was taking a rest right outside my window! I crept up slowly and sneaked a few shots of it

REally hot weather out there today.

what can I say?? You are 1 real lucky guy!! That's a Black-naped Oriole.

the feathers are all fluffed up, looks kind of sick?

ricleo · 2nd May 2004

heh, actually the bird fluffs up its feathers to cool down

hwchoy · 2nd May 2004

is it? I thought for cooling down it just ruffle its feathers for a while. if kept on fluffed up means not-so-good liao :? but it was a long long time ago since I kept a bird

ricleo · 2nd May 2004

hee... i think the weather was really too hot. It fluffed up, returned to normal, and fluffed up again for a few times. Anyway I'm pretty sure it's healthy, it has been visiting the same window about 2-3 times a day for the past week. It seems to like looking at its reflection from the window

kept making bird calls and pecking at the window.
