Courtship…
It took so much patience to capture this shot. This was kind of like once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Unfortunately, I made one mistake: the DOF (depth of field) is too narrow 
Hornbill…
When taking this picture, I turned of auto-focus, and instead focused manually. Ouch! That’s tough.
Parrot greeting the visitors…
Birds of paradise, male and female…
In the world of birds, males are often more beautiful than females. Examples are peacock, bird of paradise and mandarin duck. Similarly, male lion looks greater than lioness.
But, of course, among Homo sapiens, women are more attractive…
I agree, in the animal kingdom, the male are the attractive ones simply because it has to WOO the female.
ReplyDeleteIn the human world, it's not about looks but attitude, personality and moolah! :-)
abt the peacock,
ReplyDelete缺陷美也很美，虽然没有拍完整只，不过那角度很美！
just curious....
ReplyDeletewhy all the birds are incomplete ? XD
I still haven't seen a real peacock open up its... uhh... tail? =X
ReplyDeletebut that's what we human beings think only. maybe the birds still think that the females look better?
ReplyDeleteday-dreamer
ReplyDeleteThat's why I say need patience...
xin
It's the male peacock opens up its 'tail' and the female approaches him. That should suggest something...
Yeah, funny isn't it? The males are more beautiful in the animal kingdom, different from humans. So how do you find the KL Bird Park? I think I prefer the Singapore Bird Park.
ReplyDeleteI like the last pic! ;-)

ReplyDeleteI went to Jurong Bird Park many years ago, but no longer remember it well. Can't compare.

ReplyDeletekyh

Got chicken there or not? :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously... I need to visit kl bird park someday.

I love the photo of 'Birds of paradise', I think only SLR can do that. No plans to invest so much yet :p
