Inn Between 2,586 #1144 Posted August 24, 2019 I'd like to have koel birds in my garden. Then they might be close enough to kill. BWaa ha ha. They make me think evil thoughts. I love most birds, but the koels living close to my condo was one of the worst things about Thailand I can remember. Their red eyes are proof that they come from hell to make our lives miserable sometimes. There's nothing like a koel whistling at 150 decibels close to one's bedroom window at 4 in the morning. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spotted a pair recently in Songkhla Never seen any parrots in this part of Thailand before. I used to see them pretty regularly here in Bangsaen, Chonburi, right from my yard, up until a few years ago. They liked to eat the star-fruit off of my neighbors' tree. Could be a feral colony. I don't see them regularly anymore - caught? poisoned? - though have had sporadic sightings of them in flight. Red-breasted Parakeet are very common here, but the Alexadrine stand out even in flight by length and call. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At my old house we used to see a few of them regularly in the dry rice fields which bordered out garden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It didn't seem to worry about landing 6 feet from us and then walked around on the grass picking at whatever. Didn't have a camera so had to use my wife's phone which isn't brilliant. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharecropper 2,303 #1148 Posted August 26, 2019 I've never tried to attach video before so here's hoping. A few months ago, our annual Peregrine falcon visitor was accompanied by a mate. This is what we heard one Saturday morning (first video) and the zoom lens on a fairly small camera is the second video...

Bredbury Blue 2,478 #1150 Posted September 15, 2019 Went out to my garden and saw an oriental magpie-robin swooping down and attacking a young 1 foot-long monitor lizard. Had the required effect of making the lizard scarper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are these the birds that make a kind of loud monotonous shrieking screaming sound? The last few weeks I started hearing this kind of call in my area (countryside in CM).. which I never heard before. It sounds like a bird in distress, like it's got caught by a cat... but the birds are fine. Too far away for me to see clearly or get a photo. They are always single and making that noise sitting on a high up branch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
