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.

'She's a lady ... and the lady is mine'

 There are two avian species I always look out for because they win hands down for being most affectionate and doting.

The Zebra Doves (Geopalia striata) were the ones this time, 'manja' would be a perfect term!  The pair of male and female were hardly self-conscious.

"According to Gibbs et al. (2001), the adult female is slightly different from the male in the central portion of the breast in that it is narrower."



Wonder if humans copy avians or avians copy humans?!
