  1. So it's an Elvis bird in Malaysia!
    In Thailand, we say it's wearing a helmet.

  3. They are simply gorgeous birds, I always look forward to next sighting. Being a celebrity bird they are on the top wnted list of most biders/ photographers and that in itself present a threat to the species. One has to be very careful with LTBB for they are very sensitive to human presence ,especially when they are nesting
