Loving Birds

Whilst the "jury is out" on who reaches the finals of the Beauty Contest (SEE: last blog entries), here is some "food for thought": southern African birds revealing endearingly loving attitudes.


Rock pigeons - smooching


Laughing doves - flirting


Laughing doves - in ecstasy?


Blackeyed bulbuls - cuddling up


Motherly love - a Moorhen & chicks


The Aftermath - Ground hornbills


Arrowmarked babblers - preening


More preening - Wood hoopoes


Feeding time - a Crested barbet & youngster


"I smaak you" (SA slang for: I adore you)
African penguins


Revealing interest - 'madame' & 'monsieur'
Greater flamingo


Aren't they all cute?
