khao yai NP, thailand.
the only real camera malfuctions due to humidity happened around this point, not taking the rain cover off the lens after the rain stopped was probably the culprit. thankfully once i took it off the camera and lens started to fuction normally again.
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

＊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。

All the while I was looking out for that ‘man thing’ to appear from behind but it was nowhere to be found. I was wondering how do they do it?
It goes like this…. The male does not possess a penis as most birds don’t
Instead both sexes possess a special organ known as a cloaca. When they get into position as seen above, their cloacas are pressed together and the sperm is transfer from the male to the female, in a fraction of a second !! This action is called a cloacal kiss. The pair would repeat the process numerous times throughout the day for many days. I don’t think I’ll ever enjoy doing that, but for a bird it’s all about quantity and not quality
However the female will be awarded with a berry after each intense session.
When the male runs out of berries he would then quickly looks for more in preparation for the next round of excitement. Notice the female hunch forward to facilitate the process while the male on top of her desperately trying to attach his organ to hers.
Just imagine you have to do it with a mouthful of melons, balance delicately on her back, on top of a tree doing the aiming....all roll into one....I give up...

Most male birds do not have a penis with the exception of ducks and geese which possess a whopping penis length of 18 inches (that is even one inch longer than mine!!)
They need such scary length because ducks and geese do it over water. They can't simply rub cloacas as water will swallow their precious sperm.
The long length will ensure deep and fast delivery of its load inside the female reproductive organ. Ducklings guaranteed
Please bear in mind most animals do not make love for fun like we naughty humans do. They do it for the survival of their species and they are very serious about it. They are genetically programmed to carry out such task to ensure the continuation of its own kind and inadvertently providing fascination to humans, especially photographers like myself 😊

Using her 2 little but powerful legs to propel herself, mom dart out from the nest hole like a bullet with a mouth-full of babies droppings. Good regular house keeping is an essential part of parenting to keep the nest clean and tidy for the good health of the chicks.
Luckily I do not need to do that.

Morning walk is springing a lot of surprises. Just noticed this barbet calling away from the branches of this tree. On closer scrutiny found that she had made a nest in the trunk of the tree and was busy boring another hole in the same tree just about a foot and a half below the one occupied by her.
This nest is an interesting example of co-existence of man and bird. Our SSB guards in uniform and a rifle are not more than 10 feet away from this tree! Unmindful of the presence of these guards, this barbet goes about her work. One of the guards even told me that one of her young ones landed on the sentry post itself and the barbet did not mind!
