CB generally don't have a long tail, sometimes they use it as support when clinging on barks just as what woodpeckers do. this one is tending a nest nearby this branch

yes shekainah, other than calling it as "Pok pok", i readily call it "the clown" as nick

Thanks for appreciating its beauty Oneng Dyah

This bird is over painted that it looks like a colorful clown. But another thing that's incredible with this avian is it's call. It doesn't sound like a bird, instead, a rhythmic 3D "pok...pok...pok", one "pok" every second. This may sound hilarious, but i hope i could record a sound or video clip for this

Thanks a lot Glen & Luis, this one really amaze me.
