Common Tailorbird

Orthotomus sutorius

There's a family of tailorbirds that have nested in our backyard this year. After several months they seem to be warming up to my presence. They no longer are on edge even when they spot me watching them

While building their nests Tailorbirds are capable of extremely delicate skills, since they need to sew leaves together with just their beaks. Nothing delicate about their calls though. This one was shouting away at the top of a mango tree canopy.
