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

These birds may be noisy but they beautifully so. They travel in groups of 6 to 30 and have a characteristic sweet, whistling song that's often belted out in relaxing tunes. For this reason, along with their adorable colors, these birds are subject to relentless poaching in the area and are usually kept as cage birds. However, the bird is currently categorized as least concern on the IUCN red list, but they still need to be protected and regulated. Experts believe there are about 7 subspecies under the argentauris species since color patterns tend to shift and change in ratios.
