Zoo Birds

Post by Killerbunny » Tue Feb 25, 2020 11:42 am

SOme here for @ross & @modern17
Some of them were difficult to shoot because they were very friendly and lso some thought it was spring and chased each other around! The green winged dove was, we think, on a nest and didn't budge, very pretty bird.
The Hammerkop caught a mouse while we were there, a live one!
The Watusi cattle re for @Bayvistafarm apparently some peopl are now raising them for beef in the US.

Beautiful! We don't have a zoo here. The closest I can get is watching TV shows.

I guess I am a zoo keep of sorts.. I have both the Green Wing doves and Austrailian Crested doves in my collection. Most of the others I have friend that have them or work with them in their zoo jobs. Watusi's are cool beasts. Supposide predecessors of " Texas Longhorns" ... I have been up close and personal with both .. neat animals... I have always been intrigued by Scarlet Ibis... although my zoo buddy.. calls them Red seagulls.. ( Dirty ) ... lol.
