Caught in the act - Indian Silverbill

[Rebellious]

I have been shooting these little birds for the past couple of weeks. So, they seem to have gotten very comfortable with my presence, pointing a long black tube at them & decided to put on a show for me today.

Here is how it unfolded -

Hello there, lady

Oh, who is that guy with a black thingie watching us?

I don't mind him. Do you?

Alright then, let's get it on. Take all the pics you want mister.

Talk about being at the right place, at the right time

Thank you.
These birds are the Indian silverbill or white-throated munia (Euodice malabarica). It is a small passerine bird found in the Indian Subcontinent and adjoining regions that was formerly considered to include the closely related African silverbill (Euodice cantans). This estrildid finch is a common resident breeding bird in the drier regions of the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent. It has also been introduced into many other parts of the world and has become established in some areas. They forage in small flocks in grassland and scrub habitats.

LMAO! I read "lets get it on" and thought about what that could refer to and lo and behold! I cracked up because I really wasn't expecting to ACTUALLY see that, lol! Thanks for the good laugh!
My only criticism is it's lacking bad music to go along with it.
