Media notes
Standing on a coffee tree, behind - the stalks of the climber pepper trees. This adult came to this perch, called a few times probably to alert others of my presence. Or maybe to call for a break from foraging and group up! Soon started preening itself and then the immature/juvenile.
Observation details
1. Super cool group, no fear! They forage in an active-inactive repeating cycle of about 5-10 minutes each- calling, preening, grooming and moving around conspicuously. In the inactive period, all go under the coffee trees and stay silent. One juvenile, was getting groomed by an adult, its parent? 2. I could take some very close-up shots of them peeking through the coffee leaves at first. 3. The group took a break from foraging by jumping on top of the coffee plants from the ground beneath. This adult came to this perch, called a few times proabbly to alert everyone about my presence. Seeing/feeling me harmless, it started preening. 4. By the time I took enough photos and decided to do a video. Right time, cause soon it was joined by an immature/juvenile, which it preened for a while. All happened as if I'm not even there 😮
