Yellow-Vented Bulbul Preening
– The Silly Six, a Running Commentary
  So there the six of us were sitting
in our now ‘normal’ positions at the table on the patio. Enjoying each others
company, drinking tea and coffee, laughing and remembering events. Marlo noticed
a yellow-vented bulbul who began to preen himself. Well, all of a sudden six adults become
narrators to the event, not knowing it would go on for the next twenty
minutes..........
  “Checking his armpit”. “Staring at his left
wing”.
  “Oh look, he has had a bath somewhere,
his belly is still wet.” “What’s going on behind.”
 “Right
shoulder, check.”
   “Are you all
watching me ???” “Better get my chest sorted.”
“Puffed up.”
  “Hang on, itchy
beak.” “Right wing still there.”
   “Daytime, night
time.” “Checking his deodorant ???” “Oooo
I’ve gone all shy.”
 We all ooo’d at this left wing.
  “Are my bits
OK ???”.”Yep, still there.”
 “Eh, my middle
feather is too short.”
   “Oo that’s a
stretch.” “Try the other way.” “Nope, back to
the first stretch.”
  “What do you
think ???” “Do you think I’m
sexy.”
  “Is that it
???” “No, more to do.”
 “Beak
shine.”
 “Look at
me.”
  “Watching you
watching me.” “Look at my yellow
bits.”
 “And
stretch.”
  “One last
go.” “ I think I’m done.”
 “I’m ready, I’m
off.”
ALL IN ALL WHAT A
SHOW....
