A Golden Fronted Leafbird foraging on the hillside trees
A resident Leafbird that is found in forest areas around the country. I had sighted this bird several times, but never had a decent shot. The pair have a golden patch on their foreheads from which they get their name.
The Leafbirds are bright green birds always seen foraging on the upper canopies. They eat tree spiders, larvae and other insects found on the bark of the tree. I think this one is a female judging by pale golden orange color on its forehead. The male was trying to woo the female with songs continuously, but the female wasn't interested at all. This went on for almost 30 mins after which time both disappeared downslope on the hill away from view.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
