e Misnomer


Yes, the plain-throated is one of the many colorful species from the Garden. The naming "plain" is clearly a misnomer for this attractive male, which is in stark contrast to the e crimson-eyed female with olive colored coat. That's the female alright. These feathers are normally docile and are chased around by crimson whenever they perched on the touch ginger to feed. During the nesting period, they turned the table on the bully and made the whole ginger garden their own. Quite a sight to see them chasing after one another.
