This is just wonderful, Steven. This little one really enjoys singing and what a great pose this is. To be honest, I tried several YouTubes to hear the sound, but it appears that this one is a shy singer and hardly could hear the sound. Amazing picture you got here.
Have a lovely day.

Hello Steven,
Une petite merveille ! Nous n'avons pas cet oiseau ici. Je vois qu'il est bagué et c'est certainement un oiseau de volière.
Belle journée à toi

We have a saying that goes:
Quem canta, seus males espanta.
Translating it gives something like: "Who sings, drives away their troubles."

Since it looks like it's singing, this bird might be chasing away its troubles.

Well captured moment in the photo.
