Thanks, Mel, Brian.
What a super bird. I second Brian's comment and hope for a speedy way back to normality for you and your country.
Thank you Sukanka. I Don find these too often. The males are colorful and have a distinctive call. I hope things improve there soon.
Brain, this one is such a cutie...and a new species for me! Venturing out again, i see...we are still locked in. Thanks.
