One of my favourite views from my window in winter.
This is a widespread group, with a clear concentration of species in south Asia,
but also with representatives in Africa and the islands of the Indian Ocean.
Strangely enough there lives a large population in our neighbourhood.
Oh how I would love to have these birds coming to our feeders! I've only seen this variety of bird for sale in pet shops in the US.
Have a nice day Maaike! :)
