Kelingking - Burung Enggang Belulang - Papan tanda Kerajaan Persekutuan

The Malaysian pied hornbill is common in my backyard. A pair of males and females fly low and make a loud call. They are an adaptable species that feed on figs, palm fruits, guava, papaya, rambutan and wild fruits from the nearby plantation.
This male landed on a signboard in front of my car park.

Stripe-throated Bulbul - at backyard

This bird's natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forest and tropical moist montane forest.
Suddenly, it appeared in my backyard, perched on top of a bamboo tree.
