五色鳥
該是貝葉千卷裡的哪行經句？
該是幾個蒲團坐破？
萬萬燈下密咒聲
那花和尚
磬聲木魚
叩叩
問著
許是劫前那聲想你
讓繁花五色
綻開
簇簇
纍纍結實
而你紅喙情深
啣起愛的菓子輕輕
穿梭
林間梵唱清響
（2009年8月9日）
＊花和尚，五色鳥的別名。此鳥頭與喉部，長有黃、紅、藍、黑色羽毛，身體則為翠綠色，因此稱為五色鳥。而叫聲像是和尚敲打木魚的聲音，所以又稱花和尚。另外，在台灣，五色鳥也被稱為國母鳥。

Yellow-fronted Barbet (Megalaima flavifrons), Sri Lanka
The yellow-fronted barbet (Megalaima flavifrons) is an Asian barbet which is an endemic resident breeder in Sri Lanka. Barbets and toucans are a group of near passerine birds with a worldwide tropical distribution. The barbets get their name from the bristles which fringe their heavy bills.
Yellow-fronted barbet is an arboreal species of forests and other woodland, including large gardens, which eats mainly small fruit and only rarely insects. It nests in a tree hole, laying 2-3 eggs.
This is a medium-sized barbet at 21 cm. It is a plump bird, with a short neck, large head and short tail. The adult yellow-fronted barbet has a mainly green body and wing plumage, with a scaly appearance to the breast. It has a blue face and throat, and a yellow crown and moustachial stripes.
The call is a rolling kow-kow-kow-kow.

學名： Megalaima oorti nuchalis
分類： 啄木鳥目。
特徵： 身上共有綠、紅、黃、藍、黑等五種顏色，體長約二十三公分
生態習性
五色鳥的生殖活動自三月開始，到八月下旬結束，以六～七月為生殖高峰。據估計，自孵蛋、育養幼雛到幼鳥離巢至少需一個月的時間。牠們的生殖制度為一夫一妻制，而夫妻常會一起「合唱」：也就是兩隻鳥對應地前後搭唱。
五色鳥喜歡住在乾燥而通風的地方。牠們和啄木鳥一樣，會在枯木或枯枝上打洞築巢，因為枯木含水量較低，較不易滋生寄生蟲。
棲地分布
五色鳥分佈於亞洲、非洲、中南美洲、西印度等地，主要棲息在熱帶森林中。在台灣則棲息在中低海拔山區，於濃密的闊葉林或次生林的中上層。在墾丁的各處森林皆可發現牠的蹤跡。
Red-crowned Barbet (Megalaima rafflesii)
In Singapore, the red-crowned barbet is an uncommon resident and is only observed in the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve (BTNR) and the Central Catchment Nature Reserve (CCNR) in mature secondary and primary forest, and because of its restricted range in Singapore, was listed as nationally rare in the 1st edition of the Singapore Red Data Book and nationally-near threatened (Wang & Hails, 2007). In the latest (2nd) edition of the Singapore Red Data Book, this species has not been of conservation concern, so unlisted. However, we feel that because it is solely restricted to the
BTNR and CCNR, and has almost disappeared altogether in Thailand owing to lack of a good forest habitat, it should
be conferred at least a status of nationally vulnerable. We
have observed the red-crowned barbet taking a variety of
foods including the usual fig syconia from a regularly fruiting Malayan banyan trees at the summit of Bukit Timah and the Upper Seletar Reservoir Park. Others included fruits from oil fruit (Elaeocarpus species), MacArthur’s palm (Ptychosperma macarthurii)), fishtail palm (Caryota mitis), turn-in-the-wind (Mallotus paniculatus), wild cinnamon (Cinnamomum iners), salam (Syzygium polyanthum) (Chan & Chan, 2006; Wee, 2006b)).
Insects are also eaten quite regularly with a mantis observed being brought back to the nest (Chan & Chan,2006) as well as moths and katydids caught in the foliage of trees. The red-crowned barbet has also been recorded feeding on arboreal snails (Amphidromus species) in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve forest (Wee,2006a). The blue-eared barbet, on the other hand, was formerly only found in small numbers from the BTNR and Pulau Ubin with young birds collected on Pulau Ubin (Wang & Hails, 2007). The brown barbet, like the blue-eared barbet, is also now extinct and was previously recorded from the Woodlands area and Pulau Ubin in small populations in freshwater swamp forest and swampy coastal forest.
Nesting records of the red-crowned barbet in Singapore are rare and was first recorded in 1979 at Peirce Reservoir (Wells, 1984). A more recent nesting was observed by a few people from the CCNR. On 12 May 2006, a red-crowned
barbet was spotted in the CCNR forest at Track 7 near the Upper Seletar Reservoir Park, picking fruits from a tree and
was tracked back to a hole in a dead tree trunk. Both the male and female were observed entering the nest with fruits in their beaks and exiting the nest with faecal waste material, indicating that the eggs have hatched and the chick(s) have
began to feed. Both adults were seen at the nest together only once, thereafter were observed taking turns entering the nest regularly with fruits (oil fruit, and salam) in their beaks, and exiting the nest with faecal waste in their beaks. The returning parents would perch on a nearby branch to survey the surroundings for a period of time), presumably to look out for predators before flying into the nest.
This same nest was also observed by Chan & Chan (2006), and Wee (2006b), who observed a variety of fruits being brought back to the nest including fruits of sendudok (Melastoma malabathricum), wild cinnamon, oil fruit, and salam which were carried back in twos or threes as well as the occasional insect which included a mantis. The larger fruits such as the fruits of oil fruit, which were too large for the chicks, were observed to be crushed and regurgitated for the young (Wee, 2006b). This routine was observed for a period of 16 days. On the 17th day, the chick began to pop its head out frequently and feeding was performed outside the nest entrance). On the 26th day after the start of the observations, a chick was observed to have fledged, and flew to a nearby branch), after which one of the parents continued to feed the chick until it finally flew off, and was never seen again. No definitive breeding records are available for both blue-eared barbet and brown barbet for Singapore, except for the fact that young birds were collected from Pulau Ubin, suggesting breeding there, without a single nest reported (Wang & Hails, 2007).

The Coppersmith Barbet, Crimson-breasted Barbet or Coppersmith (Megalaima haemacephala), is a bird with crimson forehead and throat which is best known for its metronomic call that has been likened to a coppersmith striking metal with a hammer. It is a resident found in South Asia and parts of Southeast Asia. Like other barbets, they chisel out a hole inside a tree to build their nest. They are mainly fruit eating but will take insects.
This species of barbet is found to overlap in range with larger barbets in most of South Asia. In the Western Ghats, it also overlaps with the Malabar Barbet which has a very similar size and a more rapid call. The red forehead, yellow eye-ring and throat patch with streaked underside and green upperparts, it is fairly distinctive. Juveniles are duller and lack the red patches. The sexes are alike. The Sri Lankan form has more black on the face, more red on the breast and darker streaks on the underside.
Throughout their wide range they are found in gardens, groves and sparse woodland. Habitats with trees having dead wood suitable for excavation is said to be important. Birds nest and roost in cavities.
Black Browed Barbet taken at Bukit Tinggi recently. Been a while since the last time i went birding... the last might be around April in 2010.
This Black Browed Barbet is attracted to the ripe 'mata pelanduk' fruit tree (Ardisia elliptica).
I know the background is a bit clumsy... but this bird naturally would choose such a place to sit tight.. rarely it would place itself in clean background

"Birds have a large brain to body mass ratio. This is reflected in the advanced and complex bird intelligence." (Source: Wikipedia)
So if any people say you have the brain size of a bird, took it as a compliment.

Great Barbet (Megalaima virens) captured at Neelan Bhoto, Haripur, KPK, Pakistan with Canon EOS 7D Mark II
The Black-browed Barbet or Müller's Barbet (Megalaima oorti) is a bird belonging to the Asian barbet family, Megalaimidae.
It is 20-23.5 cm long. The plumage is mostly green apart from the head which is patterned with blue, yellow and red. There is a black stripe above the eye. The bill is black and the feet are grey-green. The Chinese name for the bird, "five-colored bird" (五色鳥) refers to the five colors seen on its plumage. Because of its colorful plumage and that its call resembles that of a percussion instrument known as a wooden fish, the species is also referred to as the "spotted monk of the forest" in Taiwan.

五色鳥
該是貝葉千卷裡的哪行經句？
該是幾個蒲團坐破？
萬萬燈下密咒聲
那花和尚
磬聲木魚
叩叩

許是劫前那聲想你
讓繁花五色
綻開
簇簇
纍纍結實
而你紅喙情深
啣起愛的菓子輕輕
穿梭

Sorry baby, your meal is in the air!!
便當飛了!!
One of Black-browed Barbet's parent flew back (holding fruit seeds in mouth) to feed it's baby.
The baby bird was old enough to leave the nest (a hole in a tree trunk) but still stay.
The parents tried various ways to entice thie young bird to fly away the nest.
I am not sure what happened~while the young bird was receiving the seeds from its parent,
the seed poped into the air.

Because of its colorful plumage and that its call resembles that of of a wooden fish, the species is also referred to as the "spotted monk of the forest" in Taiwan.
It has a scattered distribution in south-eastern Asia, occurring in Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, eastern Cambodia, southern Laos, south-central Vietnam, southern China (Guangxi) and the islands of Hainan and Taiwan. Endemic subspecies are found on these two islands and they are sometimes considered to be two separate species: Hainan Barbet (M. faber) and Taiwan Barbet (M. nuchalis).
It inhabits tropical and subtropical forests. It forages in the upper and middle levels of the canopy. It excavates a nest hole in a tree but little else is known about its breeding habits.
Have a great day...dear friends!! :-)
