Grumpy baby Bulbul.
He wants to be FED!
Happy baby Bulbul, he got fed!
Red Vented Bulbuls were first identified in 1766 and originate from India.
People tend to not like them because they eat flowers. I like flowers, and Red Vented Bulbus.
The Fairy Tern is native to the south west Pacific. It’s numbers are rapidly decreasing and it is considered a vulnerable species.
The White Capped Noddy, is wide spread in tropical seas and doesn’t have much fear of people. You can walk right up to them and they are studying you!
Cheers to you from the clever birds of Polynesia~

Aren’t they a cute and mysterious-looking bunch 😀
I thought so too!!
how fun – and your pics are so clear I can feel the fur
Great, makes me happy!
Awww, so cute! These really brightened my day! Thanks again for sharing more of your Polynesian experiences with us. 🙂
So happy it cheered your day!!! Happy Sunday~
I like the fairy tern the most 💫 Beautiful pictures Cindy.❤️
Thanks Sherri & hope all is well with you~
Wie wunderschön die kleinen Pipmatze Wünsche einen schönen Sonntag Gruß und Freundschaft Gislinde
Danke schoen Gislinde! Grub und Freundschaft~ ❤
You find some of the most interesting birds on your travels Cindy, love the names too
Makes me wonder who named them? They must have had a sense of humor!
A sense of humour is always good…
Beautiful beds and photos Cindy!
Sorry, I meant birds! Spell checker doesn’t always help!
I am the queen of the typo because I type fast and don’t use spell check, so no worries…..
A bit different from our Bulbuls… but brilliant photography… love your photos…
Oooooooh, look forward to seeing your Bulbuls very soon!
I think you’re going to love our bird life
I know I will. Going to be looking for Fishing Eagles on Lower Sabie damn……And this time I will at least know when it’s a hippo I hear snorting at the braii!!! I’ve even studied online how to shop more knowledgeably for groceries at the Pic n Pay before we enter Kruger. I was already charged once by an ellie, so this time I hopefully won’t be! They won’t do it twice in a row to the same person, right????? 😉 Can’t wait…. Reading Alexander Fuller’s new book now. It is getting me psyched up for Africa!!!!
Great pictures!!@
Merci beaucoup!
Avec plaisir!!!
Love your photos!
Mil grazi~
Beautiful birds, especially that Fairy Tern. Wow! I know you’ve told me before (at least a couple of times) but I can’t remember what camera you said you’re using. One more time? 🙂
Thanks LInda and no problem, it is a Sony HX300. It’s getting old now!
Thanks, Cindy. It’s definitely still working GREAT! 😀
Debating whether to get a reinforcement before we go to Africa, in case this one gets too tired, but I do so love this camera!
Never hurts to have a backup for something so important! I can’t wait to see those trip pictures! 😀 ❤
Thank you! I can’t wait to take them! 😉
Those are beautiful pictures, Cindy! I can see that my parents won’t like them though if they eat their flowers… but I enjoy your photos 🙂
Yes, I understand that as I love flowers too, but I also love birds!!!<3
Reblogged this on Art, animals, and the earth.
Thanks, Sharon, for introducing me to Cindy’s wonderful photos – I really love the bulbuls, Cindy, which we don’t have in Britain.
So happy you like them! They were new to me as well and completely entrancing. Not scared much at all of humans. The Mynah birds were far more skittish.
Thank you so much for your love and support of the beautiful creatures on our planet. The threatened Fairy Terns, and I, greatly appreciated your support~

The fairy tern! What a great bird. 🙂 Wonderful pictures, one and all.
I think the Fairy Tern is your totem bird Brenda!
LOL You might be right. 🙂 I did give my parents a few terns…
Laughing…..not you surely Brenda!!! 😉
LOL We are all entitled to give our parents a hard time now and then. But not too hard. 🙂
I am counting on you to tell my kids this!! 😉 😉
LOL Would they hear it from me? Tell them from me: “Don’t be so hard on your mother!!” LOL No more snakes, for instance. 🙂
Exactly right! Lose the freaking snakes already!!! Laughing……..
Hi Cindy! Thank you for introducing me to these beautiful and exotic animals. Gorgeous pictures! 😀
Thank you more for your appreciation of them & cheers to you~
Beautiful pictures, Cindy. The Fairy Tern is my favorite!
Gorgeous isn’t she! Cheers to you and thanks!
These are birds with attitude, Cindy.
My kinda birds!!! 😉
What a sweet little Bird 🙂 And a unusual name too.
Very odd names, both the Bulbul and the Noddy! Someone may have been having a bit of fun~
Your photos are wonderful. They are a reflection of who you are. I take it that you have been to some beautiful places. Thanks much
What a lovely thing to say. Meeting people like you are why I love blogging! ❤
How interesting their birds are and cute too….even the grumpy one.
Grumpy baby birds are so incredibly cute! Cheers to you my friend~
Wonderful captures!
So glad you enjoyed them!
That’s quite some title, Cindy! 🙂 They do have the cutest faces. Mr Red Vented is my favourite.
I totally fell for Mr. Red! Such a belligerent little birdie…. 😉
It is truly amazing how birds vary from region to region. These three look so unusual to those of us who live on the East coast. All three of these fine feathered fellows are lovely, Cindy. 😉
I am fascinated by the variety of birds in the world and also by what people consider to be exotic or common based on birds in their region. I was entranced by the Polynesian Mynah birds, but others told me how common they were in their area. To me they were exotic. On the other hand, everywhere I go except for Antarctica and the Amazon, has house finches. They seem to be the ultimate globe hoppers~
Beautiful birdies. I’m back in Philly. Maybe I’ll actually ‘sit’ this time around?
You only have to sit once. But if I don’t they’ll keep calling me (this is the 4th time) until I do or I turn 70 – whichever comes first. So I posted now so I don’t have to get up extra early before heading out to the courthouse.
Cheers! Jules
I didn’t know you couldn’t be a juror after 70 and my brother’s a judge…..I went once, hung around court a few hours, and it was called off. Maybe this is why justice moves so slowly! 😉
I’ll tell you more when I get home…
slow is an understatement. :S
Your photos are wonderful Cindy.
You are thoughtful to say so! ❤
Thought I’d take another look as I’m amazed how you got them to pose so well.
It’s amazing what a bird will do for a little bit of bread! 😉
Nice captures. The birds that look so stern always make me laugh. 🙂
I know me too! Outsize attitudes in puny little guys! Love it~
Adorable exotic birds dear Cindy ! The White Tern is gorgeous,it looks as if it’s a marble statue!Ialso loved the beautiful coot in your last photo.Cheers , Doda ❤ xxx
Well thank you Doda and cheers to you too! ❤ ❤
Another beautiful post!
Awwwww, mil grazi!

So pretty birds 😀
Greetings from Silberdistel
Greetings & cheers back to you my friend~
Wow – beautiful pics, you really captured the beauty of the birds!
Thank you! Love all birdies~
Hi Cindy,
It’s always pleasant to visit your wonderful site! … Animals, landscapes, and good feel..
Awwww, that makes me feel good. Thank you~
Builbuls looks cool with the “hats” 🙂
I know. It’s not fair. They wake up well dressed!
Cute all of them, but that fairy tern is literally like something out of fairy story. Quite magical.
She was shy and elusive too. Delicate and beautiful. So happy you like her too~
You capture so much detail in all your photos… it’s amazing.
So appreciate the appreciation! Cheers to you & thanks~
The fairy tern looks remarkably like an angel, to me! All sweet photos, though, of course. 🙂
They are almost extinct now in New Zealand and are rare to see, so I was thrilled to follow him around and get these photos. A lovely, gentle bird~
Oh – such cute little birdies! 🙂
I wonder what they would make of your snow woman???? 😉
The Bulbul is precious… glad he got fed.
Me too! 😉 😉
