Description

Western crowned pigeon (Goura cristata)


I love taking portrait shots of these birds, they're so striking. This one was also making a very strange hollow kind of noise while bobbing back and forth. It took us a while to realize it was indeed the bird causing the sound. You can hear it here if you're interested: www.youtube.com/watch?v=888bZw…

I agree, very striking! !! (the sound it makes, I would never had taken that for a bird in a million years. It reminds me sort of how pinball machines sound lol )
