Very beautiful and has amazing colors.
Thanks. I seldom see this bird. I did see them eating bee and dragonfly.
there is such a thing?
:( that's quite sad ...
but then I guess, mother nature does have a police
a way of having certain species in controlled numbers
sighs .. am glad I haven't seen them around here
but the name - Philippinus aw!
Thanks. Name might just be coincidence, since it don't think its endemic species for philippines.
Hi. It's not a coincidence that the species is named for our country. However, it is common all throughout South East Asia, and all the way to India and Pakistan.
