Passeriformes - Leiothrichidae - Leiothrix argentauris (Mesia Telinga Perak)
Beautiful small babbler with a black head, bright silver ear, orange underparts, and a bright red wing patch. Travels in noisy flocks through hill and submontane forest, sometimes in single-species groups and occasionally with other species. Unfortunately a common target of the cage bird trade, and escapees are often seen outside of their native range; in some areas, such as Hong Kong, they have even established self-sustaining populations. Warbled song often given as birds move around in flocks.

A nosy dazzler
Always a feast for the eyes
Asks to be admired
But unself-conscious
How does it do it?
