I might add that the rather vulturine Bckfluff "relaxed" posture might be result of a general relaxed fluff plus an added escape component just strong enough to depress the crown feathers.
Well! Well! Well! ??? I would swear that a [[male symbol]] Blue which I caught in the net (and gave a lot of the usual HSer when handled) gave a quite definite R as it flew away after being released. Don't tell me this species has an R pattern too, but confined to the very very highest intensities?? I doubt it. I must be mistaken
I might add a few details about the distribution of the wild Shinings before I forget, I have seen a lot of apparently single birds and a lot of apparent pairs. I have never seen more than 2 birds going around together naturally. Some of the pairs are composed of a [[male symbol]] and a [[female symbol]]; but others seem to be composed of 2 [[male symbol]]'s! (I have seen [[underlined]]at least[[/underlined]] 2 such pairs). Rather manakin-like

Today I got rid of a lot of captive birds, i.e. the 2 young [[male symbol]] Blues (banded green right and black right), leaving me just the 2 pairs of this species, and the second pair of Shinings ([[male symbol]] light blue right, [[female symbol]] light green left), leaving me just 2 pairs of this species too.
