While watching this Bulbul readying itself to drink water, I noticed how it proceeded slowly and cautiously!
A Magpie robin was watching this from an adjacent tree! Was it waiting for its turn!
Yes, Birds choose and act wisely!
Each bird is different from the other!
From the water bowl, the Bulbul moved to the feeding bowl. It took time to see and act with a plan!
It is often informative when bird movements are observed. There is a plan and response according to each situation.
How each bird finds its way to receive what it needs!
The Magpie robin stayed watching the Bulbul with interest and curiosity!
In the hierarchy of social skills Bulbuls are more advanced. The Magpie robins take longer tome to be comfortable in human environment. Even the shutter sound of a camera disturbs a Magpie robin.
Watching this Magpie robin perched to watch the movements of Bulbuls in the feeding station, made me wonder whether birds develop social skills watching other birds behave in different situations!
The avians are an example of living attentively and watchfully! That is how they develop their behaviour patterns!
The birds in our garden are messengers to us about relating peaceably to each other!
