JUNE - 2011 Dear Nature Lovers, Greetings from oikos ! Monsoon at door steps now ! A season that gives new life to entire living forms ! This time, we have a commonly seen bird in gardens. This tiny, chirpy fellow is a delightful experience. It helps us by eating many insects on plants, so no need for pest control & harmful chemicals, have more birds in garden… Regards, Ketaki & Manasi. Oriental White-eye Zoological name: Zosterops palpebrosus This is a very small bright, greenish yellow bird that is commonly seen in gardens, orchards, wooded areas throughout India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Srilanka & Myanmar. Generally it is seen in small flocks of 5 to 10, sometimes even more moving very fast amongst foliage. In flocks it is very noisy, have musical soft sounds. The prefer eating insects, flower nectar, fruit pulp. It nests in bushes & trees, laying 2 to 3 eggs mainly in April to July.

Every time I switch on my computer, I think of 'oikos' as I regularly use their calenders as desktop background.
The concept is great and pictures are marvelous. Thanks to Ketaki and Manasi of oikos.
Please keep the good work going.

 

Thanks & Regards
