    Well that was quick, only seconds after uploading and identifying the title was already set :) No worries, I'll leave it as is. I do want to highlight that this bird is extremely rare and threatened. Posted 13 years ago

Wow... very nice capture and background!
You're right you won't forget a bird like this one after seeing.
What is the orange colour in the background? Posted 13 years ago

  It is basically fuzzy sand, that turned orange due to post processing intentionally. Posted 13 years ago

Amazing, and this is @BestZoo? I gotta look then. Been there a few years ago, in the era before JungleDragon. Posted 13 years ago

  I like that zoo, although I do think some cages are a bit small for the animals. I particularly like their big cats and their rare birds. Posted 13 years ago

    I was last there some six years ago, I can't even remember their big cats and rare birds. It was all the kind of obvious stuff by then. At least in my memory, but since half a year I notice other stuff too:) Posted 13 years ago

I've no idea there were one of these in a zoo all the way in the Netherlands! And what an amazing photo too Ferdy! You may be pleased to know that this is an endemic species to my country around the time you uploaded that photo the population estimate was between 70-200 individuals however there has been a lot of ex-situ and in-situ conservation measures implemented and a recovery action plan for the species and the population has increased to roughly 250 individuals (will be published soon). Also I'll post a photo of this species as soon as I get a sharper one haha Posted one year ago

  Didn't even remember this photo, uploaded it 12 years ago :) The zoo in question is tiny but has some interesting species for sure.
  
  Very happy to hear about the conservation success, can't wait to see your shots. Posted one year ago
