Birds

[Haris]

There are all sorts of one-word threads these days from horses to trees to hens (<--lol?).

So here's one for birds. I made this thread instead of posting in the animals thread since I see birds as so special that they deserve their own thread.


They are by far my favourite animals.



Black Bearded vulture




You cannot find a more wiser looking animal than the bearded vulture.

Falcons. I have handled these birds under the supervision of a trained handler in the Arabian desert. Impressive animals.

lol, i was just trying to upload a photo of these tawny frogmouths. we have them in the garden. aren't they funny little guys?

Yes- I like them really much, but I have never seen one alive

they are mostly in pairs. one keeps a lookout, when i go near them and the other one keeps it's eyes closed and stretches it's neck up, as though trying to pretend it is part of the tree or fence.

all the better to see you with...
