This is a NOISY Miner Bird

This is what a NOISY MINER looks like
for the benefiT of those folk who get them mixed up with MYNAH birds
which are BROWN!

Yes I know the shot is a bit blurry but the bird kept moving feeding on the pollen of these autumn camellias.

The bird's not fat. They can like to fluff out their feathers when they're perching perhaps to keep their feet warm or maybe to lower their body heat?

I don't feed them. They visit for the visit and cos we don't have a dog or cat.
