I wonder if it's the environment that does my birds look like they have rather a special attitude

Could it be me.....

hehehehe

This magpie was rather frenetic in her behaviour, very eager to eat at my food tray and having her mouth open for most of the time.

She actually missed my food tray too, poor lil one - well she was quite big actually

A stern looking Javan myna is protecting a feather it found. In Fort Canning, Singapore. It got too hot for sightseeing. So I stopped to look for birds in the shade.
