In the lively gardens, forest edges, and open woodlands of South and Southeast Asia, this sharp-crested familiar flits between shrubs with cheerful confidence. It feeds on fruits, nectar, and insects, sampling whatever the season offers with adaptable ease. What makes it extraordinary is its closeness to people — thriving in cities and countryside alike while dispersing seeds and pollinating flowers along the way. A flash of red on the cheek and a song in the air, yet a constant thread weaving nature through human spaces.
