| Another favourite bird of garden bird watchers with its acrobatic
behaviour whilst on peanut feeders and garden trees. Both sexes are a colourful
mix of blue, yellow, white and green, with blue wings, tail and crown, yellow
under-parts, white cheeks and a greenish back. They also have a black eye
stripe and white wing bars. The young are duller than the adults with a
green crown, wings and tail, and yellow cheeks. Originally a woodland bird,
it has adapted to most places with trees and bushes and has become a common
garden bird which will readily nest in nest boxes or any other available
hole including a letter box! |
