I took this picture at the largest free flight bird aviary in the world, Birds Of Eden, off the Garden Route in South Africa. Wanted? I will tell you why - here I was having a nice little conversation with this guy - I was whistling and making bird sounds and he was bobbing his head animatedly. We were really connecting. I really knew we were bonding when his mate flew down next to him and they started bobbing their heads in unison. What a sight! All of a sudden this guy flew up and scratched my head with his claw. Given half the chance, I might have shot him with something more than my camera!!! (Only joking!) Anyway, what do you think?
