Thanks Ashley, Hema, Viv, Dilan, Brigitte, Sunny, Chamalka and Mac! It is really sad to know their plight in Thailand Viv. Brigitte, this detail from Wikipedia might throw some light as to how these birds came to Australia : The Red-whiskered Bulbul was introduced by the Zoological and Acclimatization Society in 1880 to Sydney, and became well established across the suburbs by 1920, and continued to spread slowly to around 100 km away. It is now also found in suburban Melbourne and Adelaide, although it is unclear how they got there.
Congratulations on your SOTD

Congratulations on the SOTD Wild Things!
Beautiful image!
Congratulations on the SOTD Satyen! ...It's the "Pleased to meet you!" bird .... I hear this call all the time in the garden, in fact, I can often be heard replying with the same call.. I'm sure the neighbours think I'm completely bonkers!! I did'nt associate it with the Bulbul though. ! Sadly, most Red-whiskered Bulbuls here in the south of Thailand are in cages used in bird singing contests.
Congrats!!
Congrats! This bold and beautiful bird has earned you Spotting of the Day! Thanks for all your great contributions!
