One that looks younger (I presume) came to our house in North East India yesterday.. And unable to fly.. We put him in the outside this morning and couldn't fly.. We checked but theres no visible injury.. Am just waiting for it to be stronger to fly.. I fed it seeds and rice with water

I've seen them at Magoebaskloof, Kologha Forest and Hogsback. I've heard them at Ingeli Forest and, believe it or not, Lekgalameetse.

Indian bulbul is same but calls are bit different.

Loved this episode and it was so good to see Dlinza forest again. Thank you, Doug for all that you do.

Thank you for a super interesting episode!

Absolutely amazing show, thank you so much

Aww shame😅

My first thought was that your thumbnail was so unmistakably Martial because of the head shape and dark patch around the eyes - but useful to know the other four features. Thank you!

Love the book, the only negative is the owl drawings aren't great. Everything else is great.

That is a wonderful prize! Very happy for you.

When I was a kid In south Africa I heard the red eyed dove In Namibia and south Africa cape turtle dove laughing dove

Great interview, Keith--congratulations on your new book!

I lived in Clarens for 10 years, the best 2 years of birding was when I worked at Old Mill Drift on the Lesotho border. Now I am in Cambodia, only see sparrows and doves mostly but I have seen some hornbills in Siem Reap. I really miss our South African birds, especially from living in Zululand.

whats the diff between a dove and pigeon ?

Hope you don't mind a question but I saw a bird in krugar with a thick red Stripe going width ways (not length ways) across the middle of the underside of its wings, I just can't find out what bird it is, any idea? I've tried to find out for a few years, now I'm very ill but would still love to know, if you can help I would be very grateful. Kind regards, Jilly

😊👍🏼

Incredible!

Your Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird distribution map is incorrect. They are also found along the KZN coastline.

Fabulous thank you

Love your programs thank you

Brilliant. Been nearly 20 years since I’ve been to SA. Can’t wait to go back for some of these birds. Subscribed. Return the favour? 😂

Hey my famous friend 😊🙏🏻!

Beautiful diversity of animals being heard here. It almost sounds alien-like, in a good way.

❤اللهم بارك ❤🎉

Eat little clip I've seen thus far of the Barbets calls and sounds. MY FAVOURITE Barbet is the Crested Barbet, my kids and I hand raised a baby Crested Barbet, you hardly ever find a Barbet but down the road from where we stay a person was cutting down a few trees and I think the Crested Barbets nest was in one of the trees that was cut down. The Crested Barbet has a character of its own, extremely Bold and Scared of Nothing at all. I know every bird from all bird species has their very own character, Our Crested Barbet, we Named Hopper, cause a Crested Barbet doesn't walk like other birds, they hop wherever they go, and if a Crested Barbet is in a hurry then it can hop so so fast, anyway our Crested Barbet, Named HOPPER, didn't like to cuddle, it loved to sit on your shoulder and and hop from one shoulder to the other shoulder and when you bent over it would hang like a parrot on your shirt, our Crested Barbet was very independent, and it had different calls and sound when it say me, a different call for attention and a different call for some food, and there was a slightly different call for when it wanted certain foods, like a slightly different call for when it wanted fruits or insects like , crickets, meal worms ect. I promise you I'm not making this up. Anyways I couldn't keep HOPPER in a fairly big aviary by itself, so HOPPER out little Created Barbet was now big and healthy and I could see it wanted to be free like it should be, so we released Hooper, we see Hopper often in our Bird Garden, still comes to eat and have a drink of water and loves to take baths in the one water bowl as we have 4 water bowls in the bird Garden, hopper use to come to me when it say me, it would land on my arm or shoulder, then hopper would land on the floor and come hop over to me and then jump up on me and now, it doesn't land on me anymore, but still comes very close. When I take our Pitbull for a walk and hopper our Crested Barbet sees us, it flies from one tree to the next tree and has different calls and sounds it makes. I've got a few photos and videos of Hopper our Crested Barbet, I miss that little bird but it seems so happy free now, I'm just so grateful that my kids and I had the opportunity to save/rescue a baby Crested Barbet and release it back into the wild. Not many people at all have opportunity to like that with such an amazing bird like the Crested Barbet. I know you need a permit to keep a Barbet and all that, but we saved the little birds life and it's been released and is a daily visitor at out house.

Very helpful- thanks

Thanks for that, very useful.....

This video was awesome to watch and listen to!

Where is the most colourful of all: Grey Headed Kingfisher?

Wow Lesotho is beautiful 🔥🔥🔥

that fricken babboon in my right ear!

Lovely Thankyou

I love this! May I just suggest that you add the name of the bird to the image in written form? Looking forward to more of these!

Tolles Taubenvideo!!!!!!

Was that a Woodland Kingfisher at 3:04?

Great job....

Epic video! I'd love to visit South Africa.

Looks really interesting!

Is Everton River Gorge the Northern most limit of the distribution of Knysna Warbler? Here in the Garden Route you can still locate them in winter by their short scratchy repetitive krrr krrr alarm/contact call with the odd bird even obliging with the full territorial call, but they are definitely less vocal at this time of year!

Thanks so much for posting your videos. It's really interesting as a UK birder to learn about South African birding.

Not perhaps 24th June, Doug

I live in Cambodia now and believe it or not, I really miss them! There are very few birds here in Siem Reap. Mostly sparrows, mynahs, and a few LBJs. I have seen a few doves with blue heads, so birding is just a memory for me now. 😢
