I went to the exercise area at around 7.30 am instead of past 8 am. Bright sunny day. No birds were seen on the trees for some minutes. Suddenly, some noises on top of another tree attracted my attention. There were 3 birds high up the tree, around 3 stories high pushing each other or climbing on top of each other.

I focused my lens up the tree and got one good family photo out of a few.

After around 2 minutes, the sire flew away. Enough of family bonding? Do birds bother with work-life balance like people?

The two juveniles stayed awhile, basking in the sunlight.

"That is the end of my bird photography," I had not seen the few Javan mynahs around the trees today.

As I walked away, the sire flew past me and perched on another tree for around 5 minutes. I was able to video and photograph him. He looked very healthy, has good weight and was vigorous. Soon after I stopped the videoing, he flew off!

VIDEO of the sire, flying back and perched on a tree, as if returning for a video and photography session with me. He stayed perched on the same tree for around 5 minutes.

FLASH BACK photos

his male pink necked green pigeon was busy flying to and fro the trees to gather twigs for nest building. I got a photo of him with a twig in his mouth.
