My new friend The Fork-tailed Drongo
I often feed our Mocking chat male and female residents some mealworms.
this young Drongo saw this one day and happily joined in
He has become so blaze, picking the worms directly from my hand.
I started to whistle a tune when I feeding him, he now mimics it and comes flying when he hears it. What an absolute little gold nugget!
