Taman Rimba Kiara is a little green gem located in a corner of the TTDI residential area. The above flowering tree, the firmiana malayana or mata lembu, flashes in testimony to man's care-less-ness - it's one of only two trees in the park that had flowered, since then the tree had been chopped down.

Hornbill - bully or bullied?

It was survival time again at the taman.  I saw the Oriental Pied Hornbill being chased off once more by the Jungle Crow.
     It flew off into a territory which caused much anxiety to some of the smaller birds like the Black-naped Oriole and Yellow-vented Bulbuls which obviously harbour nests in that tree.  The continuous desperate cries eventually caused to OPH to fly off.
     Talk about one bullying the other!



The presence of the OPH created some moments of distress for these parent birds.
