That is a really special image. It's as if all birds have a grey base and randomly got splattered with paint. Posted 7 years ago

  Thanks a lot Ferdy. What is pretty amazing is the breeding plumage. When these guys get their breeding plumage, they are vibrant and colorful. Outside the breeding season, they are dull and grey (except the waxbills). Posted 7 years ago
