Tiny friend who almost landed on my hat! 🐦

Mistletoe bird! 🍒

--

[Video ID: a mistletoe bird in the branches of a jacaranda tree. He is a male, which you can tell by the plumage: a navy blue cape and streak down his white belly, and a bright red breast. He is jumping and bobbing his head back and forward curiously, and make a small trilling chirp not dissimilar to a sparrow. End ID]
