Description
My next set will be Tinkerbirds & Mousebirds. Both species are endemic to Africa. Tinkerbirds are named for their repetitive, metallic call that sounds remarkably like a small hammer tapping rhythmically on metal. Tinkerbirds are widely distributed in tropical Africa. Mousebirds are named for their soft, fur-like plumage and their unique habit of scurrying and creeping through dense bushes and leaves in search of food, which mimics the behavior and appearance of a mouse. They often cluster together in group of three or more.
The White-headed Mousebird is found only in East Africa where it occurs in southern Somalia and parts of Kenya with its range just extending into southern Ethiopia and northern Tanzania. It eats fruits (such as Solanum), leaf buds and flowers (such as Acacia).

Lovely birds.
Ein wunderschöner Render
A wonderful gathering of these wonderful birds!
So lovely, I wouldn't mind a pair... my cats would agree for completely different reasons... so I'll just wait for this set to come out, then my kitties can't get them. :D
Of course that means I don't have to buy a cage, food, toys, etc.
