Male Fiery Minivet (Pericrocotus igneus trophis)

This is the male Fiery Minivet. Apart from the beautiful colours, the species has such a beautiful song that is causing it its popularity as a pet bird thus there is a lot of trapping going on to supply the demand of the illegal pet trade. This subspecies was photographed on a small remote island off the west coast of Sumatra called Simeulue island.

Incredible! I'll use this moment to share a neat JungleDragon trick: you can link to other photos simply by pasting the URL into a description field or comment, it will then render as a thumbnail.

As an example, I just did this for your post. Now how your male posts includes a thumb that takes you to the female, and from the female to the male.

There's also other things you can embed this way, such as Youtube/Vimeo videos, tags, users and lists. All you need to do is paste the URL of the "object" you want to embed. Posted 3 years ago
