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

Today we continue our salute to fall-inspired featured birds with a bird that reminds us to look beyond our own backyards and borders to appreciate the full world of avifauna. With autumn knocking at our doors already, this beautiful bird named the Silver-Eared Mesia, comes as a very welcome treat that beholds all of this season’s color. Meet Mesia, a fascinating silver-eared bird with a beautiful mix of autumnal colors.

They are relatively common in their range, but because they prefer forests and higher altitudes, they may be more difficult to find. In some areas, however, they readily come to feeders where fruits, seeds and mealworms are offered. Many local resorts know just how attractive and popular these birds are, and set up feeding stations to attract them and other local specialties. Fortunately, they are also somewhat social, and where one silver-eared mesia is seen, others are likely to be nearby, except in very sparse or isolated areas, where all birds tend to be more solitary.
