At Your Beak And Call
All birds in this post, photography taken at Crocworld Conservation Centre, Scottburgh, KwaZulu-Natal a couple of years ago!
Toco Toucan (Ramphastos toco) with crooked beak, most definitely not a bird of Africa, Apparently crooked beak happens when able to maintain the beaks length by honing on rocks or other hard surfaces.
Silvery-cheeked hornbill (Bycanistes brevis) aligned beak but what a load to carry around! A bird of Africa further North East Coast to where we reside.
Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) another nasal bird of large proportion. A regularly frequent flyer around the continents and Islands. Here playing follow the leader with one deciding to preen and clean a wee bit more before nap time....
African sacred ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus) a bird found throughout Africa near waterways, playing who is big daddy on the tree with little egrets sizing them up. Space for more? Colony well established open to come and go, quiet ones that gets on with life, perhaps that is why they are an ancient species!
Last photograph, flying away from one waterway to another the Sacred Ibis showing off it's beauty in the heat of the day. Thanks for visiting and do join in sharing birds from around our little blue planet.
