This afternoon,  I spot several collared finchbills singing and dancing in a tree about 2 meters high. Collared finchbills are a kind of songbirds found mainly China, and Vietnam as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A collared finchbill, true to its name, has a black head with a  white-colored ring around it neck, likes to forage in the lowland, a low mountain and gardens, perched on treetops, rooftops and telephone wires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I carefully examine  them. All the four birds on the tree  appears fatty annd cute with bright eyes. They are chirpping happily jumping on the tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, there are a lot of cherry plums in our community in bud, also known as red leaf plum, which attract groups of collared finchbills (2-6 in a group) to taste, chirp and jump happily among the branches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cherry plums often has single flowers, pink; the leaves are purple and shiny, and leaves fall in winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collared Finchbill is a local resident birds, which is easy to identify. It is wearing a white scarf (collar), green, light yellow mouth and black head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because they are local resident birds, they are not afraid of humen. Sometimes we look at them, they are not nervous. They are calm and live in harmony with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
