Ah! Very pretty...and no competition...have you seen the one where one butterfly is trying to break up the mating pair...I posted the threesome today :)

saddening! Wild life has to deal with so much!
SukanyaDatta
No. :( But it is the same story even in the Sunderbans where they are killing and eating sparrows and song birds such as the Oriole. Human population pressure....

play of light! At a different angle,the heads look green.
SukanyaDatta
Yes, I have seen them caged in Jama Masjid area, Delhi; likely meant for the table. :( Green heads. the ones in your snap seem to have blue heads.
HemaShah
That's not how you want to see them!
