Popularly known across India as ‘Saat Saheliya’ or ‘Saat Dost’ these noisy, angry looking birds are normally in a group of 6 to 10 and they come about and create a huge amount of noise. At my house they even spend a lot of time fighting with their own reflection in the mirror on the bike. Their features are such they always look angry! Though this one for a change does not look that angry and is perhaps intrigued at the photographer.
Perhaps it is thinking,
‘I am so common, why do you click me’
To which I will reply,
‘I am common too and hence I like people like me!’ 😀
foto freaks 
it looks grumpy, from the lack of the chit chat I guess
He really does look angry. I wonder why they look like that. Beautiful capture.
Yes yes yes yes…. the mirrors on the cars, the windshield, all of them are in danger when these birds come around. Permanent visitors at my place 🙂 Nice to have a name to go by, for them 🙂
I at times worry if it will injure itself… ! here is one such pic ! : http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151308323561456&set=a.10151114374091456.434301.521051455&type=3&theater
Lol they seriously need someone to hold them and maybe rub them behind their necks… like we would to dogs… perhaps they will relax after that ! 😀
Looks like it is angry with somebody! Wonderful click 🙂
Oh this one looks angry alright 🙂

Haay !? at innocent me??? 😛 😛
why does this Babbler look so pissed off – You should rename it the Angry Bird 😛
They can’t help it… yup… I guess the angry bird theme probably came from teh babbler’s expression !
Amateur clicker? Someone is mighty humble;)
