One of the most under-rated birds must be the Oriental Magpie Robin (Copsychus saularis), omnipresent, vocal, songbird of any garden or park. It's also a favourite of poachers. Fortunately these birds still scoot at any approach.
And I have been able to witness their familial bond too, how the adults will call ceaselessly until the young appears, and how they tend to stay close together too, I guess until the young ones truly matured and leave home.
This family of four of the taman is one example, having been seen to stay together for weeks now, foraging alone but always within sight of one another.
