All these birds are caught at a distance off my Bangkok Thailand balcony with my Canon point and shoot. I am not processing photos at the moment due to my limited wifi. Soon I will download something I can use offline and so will improve. But for now, this is what I've got.
A pigeon in air pollution
Closer view of said pigeon
This guy looks cool on the same fence
The crest is wild.
Now in a different spot.
A different bird - worse pollution.
A screaming bird looking for a mate gets me to come out on the balcony instead.
Did he find her? Or is this another type of bird?
I have no birding skills to let you know.
My post is for featheredfriday by @keithboone. Here is this week's call for entry with tips to help us do better with bird photos and I need them!

Recent events have not been easy, and you can read about them here:
Situation Critical – My rent and wifi are not paid and now are both overdue
UPDATE: I am so happy and relieved to tell you that:
- my rent and a wifi top up have been paid.
- the money sent to my US paypal account has arrived, through Thailand to Malaysia!
A bigger post describing current events will be posted soon, but I want to let anyone checking on me know that the first part of the situation is solved and that at least I will not be cut off from the world without a roof over my head.
And I can afford to go to Singapore for my required visa trip. Can you go to Singapore for three days and spend a total of $75 USD? Watch me!
I am so grateful to you all.

It is almost Super Bowl Sunday. Statistics say that only 5% of people with health resolutions for the New Year will still be on track. Is your fitness equipment still out handy, and are you still on a "diet?"
I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods. I started on December 5th and did not give up. You can do it too!

Even in a big city with air pollution, it's wonderful to see that nature still exists. The crested bird looks very cool. I'm happy to see your post - how are you making out with that air pollution? Wishing you a happy weekend. Voted and resteemed :-)
Thank you for the support @keithboone. I can hear the crested bird now. They scream. I think I got some video of the sound if I ever dig that out.
I am now in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and we have had good air the whole time I have been here. I know the air is bad in Bangkok this week and I am glad to be missing it. I'm about 900 mile south now :)
I'm glad to hear you are now in clean air. Last August we had the worst air quality anywhere on earth due to the forest fires. On a scale where Beijing and Mumbai were hitting 80 PPM Vancouver and Victoria were over 320! It was unbelievably bad and I hope I never experience that again.
Holy cow! That is strange for your area I think . We had that for a week of fires in San Diego one year and I do not want to see it again. It is not possible to imagine until it happens.
Yes, last summer was the worst on record for forest fires. From Alaska to California. I think perhaps British Columbia had the most fires, it was horrible.
Been hunting for birds but it is hard with a phone... I found feathers one of my favo friends left behind

That might work! @keithboone is loose with the rules :)
Ha! howdy fitinfun! these are some very interesting shots....is pollution that bad all the time there? Does everyone wear masks?
The air is rarely "great," but sometimes it is terrible. A couple of those shots were on very bad days.
Yes, people wear masks @janton, and that is something to get used to for sure. Now I do not even notice, but when I first got here I had to learn to communicate with their eyes. I never wear a mask and should sometimes.
