Every bird has its own unique personality, likes and dislikes. Some are extroverts and like socialising. Others are shy and feel more comfortable with just one or two friends, preferring to sit quietly by themselves till the crowds have gone. Some are bold and daring, ready to try new things. Some love singing and will croon loudly. Some never stop chirping and have much to say, while others will have their regular chat-times in the day when they will sit in their favourite nook and chortle. And some are bossy, and lose no time in sending the others off to their bidding. There will always be some bird who is in alarmist, crying wolf at the smallest shadow and sending others off in a frenzy.
The best way to observe them is at the water bath. Their behaviour and sound will give you many clues about their personality.

In the previous posts we looked at two methods of recognising individual birds:
1. Using shape, form and size, and
2. Using their general characteristics.
In this post we'll examine another useful technique namely, identifying them from their posture and movement.
Birds are much like humans in this regard. Not only do they have unique physical features, shape and form - each bird also moves as uniquely as does each human being.
