Coppersmith Barbet Pictures and Detail I have always loved the green-colored birds because I have grown with Rose-ringed Parakeets around me. I came to know about Barbet birds when I started taking bird pictures. Coppersmith Barbet is the fourth barbet whom I captured through my camera. Earlier, I took pictures of Brown-headed barbet , Blue-throated Barbe t, and Great Barbet . I captured this bird in Punjab.  ---- Support this Blog and my Bird Photography ------ The scientific name of these birds is Psilopogon Haemacephalus and they are also known as Crimson-breasted Barbet and Coppersmith.

Pied Myna or Asian Pied Starling Pied Myna or Asian Pied Starling Pictures and Detail- Today, it's time for another Myna i.e. Pied Myna or Asian Pied Starling. The last Myna, I shared with you were Brahminy Myna , Bank Myna , and Common Myna . Like the other Myna, Pied Myna is also a common bird; however, less common than other Common Myna and Bank Myna. These are very social birds and for the last two years, I am seeing a pair of Pied Myna making nests at the same location. These birds are slightly shy than the common myna and avoid coming close to humans. However, they also live near humans and we can find them near the human population in villages and cities.  They also love to eat human food left over by them. It is a routine at our home to give morning first chapatis to the crows and other birds and sometimes, Pied Myna does come to eat the chapatis.  -------- Support this Blog and my Bird Photography ------ A Pied Myna or Asian pied starling The scienti
