Miss Bulbul...Where's Your Tail ?


This Red-vented Bulbul had taken birth last year in a nest in the Bougainvillea shrubs in my garden. Although it is not dependent on its parents for food,yet it spends the majority of its time in their company.However,it is only today that I noticed that its tail was missing...Wonder what the reason could be ?

  2. Birds will drop their tails if they are captured and think they are able to get free. We see this occasionally when bird banding here in the US.
