Hallo Shailesh,

Thanks for the complement. Although the temptation to edit the picture more was enormous, I let it be. Looks more natural that way. Am not sure if there are species that come together for warmth as mousebirds do. The hanging by the strong claws, belly to belly and in large numbers, sometimes in a ball are just but some of the characteristics that I find peculiar to mousebirds. Perhaps the more experienced birders can shed more light on other species with such or similar behavioural adaptations. Cheers!

Hi Evans,

I like the way you took that photo of the Mousebirds with the vegetation as the background. I have seen Mousebirds doing that and don't know if other species do that.

Figured in this cold season, perhaps these speckled-mousebirds could warm us up!
