Nicobar Parakeet

Bright yellow finch with a thick, powerful bill. Male is daffodil-yellow with a black mask, dark bill, and scaly speckling on the back. Female is duller yellow with light pink in the bill, weaker back patterning, and a much fainter head pattern. Baya Weaver is less extensively yellow, with the female having darker patterning on the back and wings than Asian Golden Weaver. Inhabits lowland wet farmland and natural wetlands where the male builds round grass nests in small colonies. Native to mainland Southeast Asia and Sumatra; introduced to Singapore.

A relatively small, uniformly dark brown eagle with a contrasting bright-yellow bare patch between the eye and the bill. The underparts are speckled with small white spots. In flight, the wings have narrow black-and-white bands and the tail has thick black bands. Juvenile similar to adult, but with a pale, cream-colored head. Often seen perched in trees under the canopy, from where it watches for small prey. Calls delivered in a series of 4-5 short, chirp-like whistles.

A small dark tern which appears grayish-black and extremely slender. Very similar to Black and Brown Noddies, but the Lesser Noddy has a very thin bill, is somewhat paler gray overall, and has gray between the bill and the eyes. The flight is fast and graceful, and it often mixes with other terns. Often found offshore, not far from islands in the tropical waters of the Indian Ocean.
