      A fairly common bird at some locations, and also they visits certain plants regularly, just have to wait for them to show up to feed everyday. Posted 2 years ago

        It being common doesn't make it any less beautiful to me. As an example, I would argue that the most beautiful bird in the world has to be the male peacock. Yet because it is so common (domesticated), I suspect many people would disagree :) Posted 2 years ago
