Can anyone help me identify these birds?

Of late I have been hearing the calls of many new birds which I have not heard before. I keep running to the window to catch sight of the birds. There is one which sounds like the loud croaking of a frog. This bird keeps calling out only to be replied to by another of its kind from nearby. Have not been able to spot the bird. May be it is very nicely camouflaged.

However when looking for this bird, I spotted another flying really fast the other day. Going by the colour, I thought it was a parrot. This morning when looking for the other bird, I saw what I thought was a parrot and was surprised to see a completely different bird. It had a parrot green body, a brown head and a yellowish beak. I managed to take a picture of it, but was not able to get a very good one as it did not stay too long. The colours in the photo are nowhere as vivid as the real colours.

Was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me anything about this bird.

Later I saw an even smaller bird which was a dull green with a light brown head. Could not get this bird as it was very small and by the time I could focus and zoom it just flew off.

Can anyone tell me what birds these could be? Have been searching Google, but it seems to be an endless search. Did not see "my" birds.

 

Thanks Mathangi.

 

Thanks Shoba, just checked out. Distant pictures make me think it could be the same one, but in close ups the colour of the beak makes me wonder. Also not so sure if the colour of the eyes etc. match. Need to watch out for more of them.

 

Hi Sindhu,

This is indeed the bird - the white cheeked barbet. Checked it out on you tube and heard the call too. It is the very call that has been driving me nuts all these days - I could hear it so loud and clear, but could not spot the bird. Yippeeeeeeee........ am so happy to have seen the bird and heard its call too. Thanks a million.

Here is the video which shows the bird with the call which is unmistakably its own. [video]http://ibc.lynxeds.com/video/white-cheeked-barbet-megalaima-viridis/bird-singing-turning-around-flying-away[/video]

 

Sindhu, did not observe the beak, but did observe how its tummy kept puffing up each time. I totally agree with you. Am hearing so many different types of calls but unable to spot the birds. Would you know another green bird with similar colours like the barbet meaning light green mixed with brown, but much smaller?

My mil was mentioning a bird she has been noticing which keeps bobbing its tail up and down and says it is black and looks similar to a sparrow - was wondering if it is the wagtail or bobtail.
