Ken can see where it gets it's name, some might worry about the bits of grass crossing the tail ,but I must admit to likening birds in there natural habitat, grass and all, Yellow bird in a nice green setting looks very good to me.

Excellent, Ken. Great head turn and I love the habitat aspect. The bird is plenty bright enough to stand out from the vegetation.
