This is the strangest bird I've seen at our zoo. I'll post another picture of him later (that isn't as clear but full body) and maybe someone can tell me about him ;) Enjoy and thanks for stopping by to take a peek. I appreciate all of you. Anita

My gosh Anita, what a stare, and he has his red eye shadow on too. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of him, after this tantalising look into his very knowing looking eye.
Great post.

You want to know more about him. Okay, I will try. His name is Gustav, he has a wife and three kids. At the university he had a problem with drugs, but this is over now. He loves doing puzzles. I hope I was of help for you. But back to the picture. It is lovely and we all would do a lot for having such beautiful eyelashes. Great shot again.

Had it not been for John's commentary, I would be going to bed tonight wondering what kind of bird you captured. How in the world did you get so close to him and why would you want to. I't an amazing image in all respects, Anita. Thanks for sharing...Neil
