A Bulbul was in our courtyard perched on a cable, during the short spell when it was not raining yesterday.
A Magpie robin came to be perched beside the Bulbul. It was wet and soaked and was struggling to fly.
I noticed, how the Bulbul turned to give attention to the Magpie robin with body gestures that expressed a fraternal attitude of concern!
The Bulbul was 'beholding' the Magpie robin during the time of the body grooming to become flight ready !
That was a demonstration of how birds behave in a neighbourly manner towards each other!
A Magpie robin needed a companion and that was what a Bulbul offered to become!
Become a neighbour to others!
That was the message the Bulbul left with me!
I hesitated to share these photos as the Bulbul was out of focus! But the message was significant enough to reflect on!
