Yellow-billed Babbler - Turdoides affinis taprobanus, Home garden, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.

The noisiest bird in the garden. They come in groups and are commonly called 'Seven sisters'. They and the garden squirrels forage together. Presence of a predator like a cat or rat-snake raises an alarm from both parties. Sometimes an infighting occurs among two babblers. It resembles a school boy fight. Shrill warnings and advice are given by the other babblers in the group and all is mayhem for the moment. It subsides in a few minutes and peace and tranquility returns.
