Colius striatus
When they roost they hang upside-down like washing on a line. They woke up one by one as the shutter clicked, then flew to a nearby tree.

How unusual. Thanks for the info!
Great series, Malcolm. I didn't know these birds, thanks for teaching me.
Nice spotting!
What an amusing sight. We have a visiting Cacatua galerita which loves to go upside down when I spin the clothes line. Pure entertainment for him and us.
Thanks everyone for the kind comments.
Great series. I love the fifth shot.
Birds are truly amazing! Great photos of another of nature's little wonders.
Wow, amazing acrobatic skills.
They even sleep upside down like bats too !
Delightful series.
