This shy little bird lives in most parts of Australia. I was amazed it allowed
me to get this close. Think it was waiting for it's date & didn't want to leave :>)
They breed in our Bougainvilleas each year where there is a lot of cover from nest robbing
crows which I detest with a passion, but since they are protected by law the most we can do is
attempt to scare them off...oh that really works...duh !!

Wow, I bet if we had crested ones here in NY they would get a bit more respect. This is very cool looking. Great that you were able to creep so close.

Superb capture of a beautiful creature. Well done, Laine.

Crows are not easily intimidated, or at least for very long. And they tend to work in packs, when it suits them. What an interesting bird this is -- I can see him looking at you and weighing the risks! Hope his date didn't keep him waiting too much longer. ;^)Great capture.

Really nice photo Laine. Great focus in spite of
all the tangle and leaves.

Yet, she looks at you rather suspiciously, eh?
Very nice.

You were lucky getting that shot, these little birds are SO shy & quite pretty
in a quaint sort of way. Lovely to see all the green - a really nice photo!
Guest 22-Oct-2004 00:26

Guest 21-Oct-2004 23:34
Nice capture Laine! Don't you love their hairdo - looks like they use gel!

Great capture! Much more beautiful than our pigeons.
Guest 21-Oct-2004 22:53
If this pigeons around here looked like this, I wonder if people would get so annoyed with them! This guy is kinda cool!

so lovely Laine.... I still haven't managed to get great bird photos..... I thought this looked like a pigeon from the thumb.... we have those here too :-) I was happy to see the strange little tuft of feathers on the head when I clicked on the image. We don't have those here! great job!
