Colorful Beauty in Nature: Birds

Imprimir esta página Print this page
     

In sizes ranging from the tiny hummingbird to the tall earthbound ostrich or emu, Birds of the world show us color in a huge number of arrangements -- 9,000 to 10,000 species to be more exact.

Males mostly do the more vibrant presentations to attract mates, while females are usually muted and earth tone to guard their homes and their eggs, but either way, it seems that birds of a feather have the right idea when it comes to great colors.

We were in Hawaii last month. I've seen these birds before, but they always disappear while I'm grabbing my camera! They're super-quick!...

Colourful Mandarin Duck

 

Colourful Mandarin Duck

When we were young, my father used to breed these little colorful Mandarin ducks. So, I still have a thing going with ducks. This one was also taken last sunday at the Blijdorp zoo.

Floyd

It finally dawned on Floyd the origin of his name. He remembered that unusual lullabye, "Another Brick in the Wall" that his mother used to sing to him and how she would always reassure him when the other flamingos teased him. She'd tell him, "Never be ashamed because your beak is pink, Floyd."

This is a very young mustache parakeet, growing up at the Tree Top Bird Center.

Our friends, the Bowers, have an ostentation of peacocks. It took me a little while to get this guy 'centered' in my viewfinder. He was so stubborn.

This is about as close as I can get to him (approx 100mm zoom about a foot from his head); I thought about cropping some of the topheaviness but decided it made him look all the more vulnerable and lovable.

Pheasant strutting his stuff

  by walla2chick

I started taking pictures of this colorful guy, and, when I looked at him without the camera in front of me, I noticed that every so often I couldn't see his eye...

If that is too much color, there's always the female black vulture, which is black. The male black vulture is also .... black.

The colours are amazing. I can't like the coloured chicks though because the dye that makes them those colours will enter their body and hurt them.
