This morning I was awoken by this familiar sharp shrill of birds just outside my window. Of course the beautiful sound cheered me up and I rushed for my camera. Sure enough, it was the common yellow birds that never fails to sing within my area. They were a couple of them looking for food, ie the insects. Thank you to my dear friend Tabib, who has identified this bird for me. All this while I have been refering them as only the 'yellow bird'!.

orioles normally have such a pleasant bubbling sound - I am sure this species is no different which is why it was so great to have it outside your window.
you have a nice blog, and the jack fruit made me yearn for the tropics again
happy birding

Thank you so much Dale. Yes, bubbling is the correct word to explain its singing. I see you were in the Tropics before and you must be very familiar with the tropical birds then. Maybe you can help to rename my birds then!
