Some samples attached below.
(A trip to the KL Bird Park earlier in the year produced these.) Come now, what on earth were you thinking? (no pun intended)
Scarlet Ibis : It's looking for something, isn't it? (Yes, this is a red bird. Its plumage color comes from its food source)
Sitting Stork: on its reverse bend-able knees
The feather tips of his crown remind me of an emperor's.
Peahen and her progeny: Not being very tall, the poor little thing was scrambling all over rocks, grass and roots to follow mum.
I have forgotten what this perty bird is called. Anyone care to enlighten me?
Dove, sitting pretty. wood variety?
I am unable to identify this one. Was shooting pix of flaming-goes when I noticed this hidden amongst the trees. Its tail feathers are superbly long! Probably over a metre . As the trees weren't very tall, I had to crouch to snap a shot of it in whole. Guess my photo doesn't really do this bird justice, length-wise. (chuckle*chuckle)
