I love your stories about animals and plants in South Africa. And the photos are excellent. The bird has a characteristic silhouette.

Yeah, like the Pirates/Mafia of the bushveld, strong sharp claws, great pecking bill to rip/tear, red beady eye watching you, cute indeed! Their feathers are amazing.

Estos hermosos loros que solo vemos en cautiverio y que me ponen triste, todos los pájaros deberían estar en los cielos y vivir libres. Aves muy inteligentes que me encantaría ver en la naturaleza, gracias por visitar @me2017

Nice photo's @joanstewart

I can't imagine he would hang around long for you to take the shot. That bill definitely looks like it could do some damage.

Wild birds and animals take a small number of our livestock, it is still well worthwhile not poisoning them and taking care to keep them around @blogjeremiah

Not in look, but in description, this kind of reminds me of the roadrunner in the us.

I might be able to join you in bird photos soon. The birds of Malaysia are very striking and tame compared to what I saw in Bangkok. They will startle me by being right next to my face in a tree or next to my feet as I walk. And then some gigantic one flew by the balcony the other day. Once I settle in more I will get on my game!

I'm coming from your @kryptonia task - many thanks!
