My apologies to Harry Belafonte as I have no image of a yellow bird in a banana tree (are banana plants considered to be trees?), but, I do have a lot of images of yellow birds as this color in birds rivals the blues in sheer numbers. So, leaving the blues for a while (there’s still lots more), I’ll delve into my image cache and pull out the yellows.
Color plays an important role in how birds interact with each other, including how they choose mates. Yellow is pretty flashy and easy to detect, maybe that why there’s so many sporting this color. Here are a few:

Great series however, I don't think they are sporting the color because there was a sale going on at Macy's

1. Those are outstanding photographs of yellow birds!
2. Banana plants are not really trees - and they are not really high! (Their life cycle is a very short 12-18 months, actually, then they die back and new growth starts up from their roots).
3. Harry took poetic license for the betterment of musical history and I think we will forgive him for that!. Calypso was a beautiful musical form largely forgotten. I have a special fondness for that song, as my father, who had a beautiful voice, would walk around the house singing it when I was a child.
