It's so tempting to get closer to them for a better shot but I remember there were some guidelines at Bird Paradise that warned visitors about standing too close to the birds. Those with shiny accessories had been known to be "attacked".
The Mysterious Papua Zone was said to have 25 species of birds but given how blind I am, I didn't see the cockadoos and the parrots, although I did catch signs of another pretty bird.
Nicobar Pigeon / Dove, which had frills around the neck, with interesting shades of green against a metallic blue black body plumage. It's like a bird, with its fringe neatly combed back after a hair wash.
Always nice to see a nest as it infers comfort with the environment. Animals in captivity sometimes don't breed well and it's often a big deal when a new life is borned in captivity. In the anthropomorphic mindset, I would say there's nothing much to do except mating.
Woah, I didn't know there are over 750 species of pandan in the world! A common ingredient for local desserts, the species that we are acquainted with would be the "Pandanus amaryllifolius". No way am I going to remember it.
Right behind the message would be the flightless Cassowary which is known as the world's most dangerous bird! Aside from being able to run over 50 kilometers an hour, it has a lethal weapon on its feet; "a long, daggerlike nail" that can be fatal when slashed across.
Just wondering what the feeding entails.

A kick from the cassowary can be fatal.
