A Brown-Headed Barbet eating the Neem fruit - Jan 2012

A Koel on the same tree cutting a funny figure
On a cold December afternoon with the sun on its last legs, I spotted these Plumheaded Parakeet while walking my dog - they were kind enough to wait while I ran home and got my camera. The male is really the plumhead while the female (below) has a pale grey head.
The two together ->
Plumhead again, some weeks later in January
Koel in my backyard on the Gulmohor tree
A pair - both males. Were into some sort of a fight, it seems. The one seen on the left kept up a persistent call and would keep hopping closer and closer to the other bird till the other took flight.
I have heard this Koel ( with crimson eyes) just outside our residence for long. Finally managed to catch him - mid April 2011
A Sunbird Sucking nectar from a hibiscus flower in our back yard.
