Cuddle Up Being Social
Togetherness, two little birds sitting in the tree, free to move, free to love, hearts beat as one during the right season, plan continuation of species side by side.
Day of week matters not as we hear a song go and look, happily chirping from within a bush always time to get together.
Blacksmith Lapwing (Vanellus armatus) or Blacksmith Plover protecting together, somewhere within the sandy dunes with sparse grass or on sports fields, will find them fiercely protecting territory together.
White-fronted Plover (Anarhynchus marginatus) with short, straight thick bill making identification, not sandpipers as this bird is commonly found on sandy beaches more often than the waters edge.
Dark-capped Bulbuls (Pycnonotus tricolor) are monogamous, sleep together tucked head under their wings. Birds we see literally every day of the week, hear them chatting joyously to each other over the noise of vehicles, remember to never take what we have close to home for granted.
The ring-necked dove (Streptopelia capicola) or half-collared dove, apparently these birds make a good age up to 37 years as recorded, another common bird seen in our garden. Here in the tree often seen on the ground.
The red-winged starling (Onychognathus morio) resting up together, cannot see the head clearly so for identification purposes if you do see them the males have an all-black head, a females head is grey. Yes difference in visual sexes is apparent in many within the kingdom.
Some arrive together then stay forever, others migrate inland moving according to their desire, feathered friends may be seasonal, all are welcome. These photos were taken in our Spring we now entering Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.
