Our Red-vented Bulbuls catch bread in the air

[Ok, you’ve got to be quick to see it! Arlene tossing the bread]
This is a recent thing. After only 18 years. We call the couple of red-vented bulbuls Hector and Dani. The only one to grab bread mid-air is Hector. Dani is rather more refined. She waits for bread to fall on the ground.
They’re a tight couple. They wait on the bamboo fence each morning. In winter they puff up their feathers to keep warm. They bathe in our fish pond, where we keep koi carp.

Other vids of red-vented bulbuls.... I wonder if I can work out how to get such nice videos...
