The Red-vented Bulbul are the most numerous in our home garden. They invade the dining table and pick on the ripe bananas on the table making a big racket. They come come for a bath and eat the plantains left close by. I took these pictures in an afternoon near the bird-bath in our home garden. The top two pictures are of a male and the bottom two pictures are of a female.

Yellow-billed Babbler - Turdoides affinis taprobanus, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.
They come in groups and make the loudest noise in our home-garden. They work in tandem with the squirrels. If any predators like cats or rat-snakes are around the squirrels start chirping rapidly and the babblers take flight and add to the cacophony. The Babblers are called 'Seven sisters' because they travel in groups.
