Hui Mei Bird (beautiful or raised eyebrow)


The weather is absolutely beautiful in Kunming right now. Generally in the 70's with a light breeze and blue skies. We often go to our local park which is full of people and buzzing with activity. It is one of my favorite parts of China. In the early mornings, you will find the park brimming with retired gentlemen and their birds. Yes! These men take their pet birds to the park to socialize them with other birds.
I think the bird is a fighting thrush. They all have the same song bird, and they stand for hours watching and discussing their birds with each other. They periodically move the cage from tree limb to tree limb and then to the ground and back again. It is so interesting to watch!
