The Silver-Eared Mesia Is A Beautiful Mix Of Autumnal Colors

It's also one of the few bird species where there's not much of a distinction between the males and females. The most obvious difference is that the males have red-orange throats while the females have a yellow color. With an adult size of about 15.5–17 cm (6.1-6.7 in) and an average weight of 22–29g (0.75-1oz), these birds are extremely tiny and not always that obvious – despite the barrage of colors. Thankfully, they travel in noisy flocks and often prefer cool, moist typical climates. While mostly found in Hong Kong and Pakistan, they can also be found year-round in gardens and bushes in Southern China, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Malaysia.
