From the archives: Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides) chick that I christened Curious George. It was the offspring of a pair that nested yearly in the Great Court at the University of Queensland. Sadly 1 of the parents passed & I think the other has moved on.

#BirdOfTheDay being #oddangles, I think this curious Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus) meets the criteria.

Green, yellow, red and blue parrot with a blue head, together with a red eye and beak hangs nearly upside down from an Australian bottlebrush tree.

A shot I like as much for the background as anything.
Ring-billed Gull (Larus delawarensis), Rio del Mar beach, Aptos, #California #birds #photography #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography

A white and grey gull with black wingtips, a vibrant yellow eye, and a bright yellow beak with a black ring around the tip flies past golden sand with a bright blue inlet.

"Something touched my foot! Something touched my foot!"
Black-necked Stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus) at #KedronWetlands appears to have gotten a scare. #BirdOfTheDay alt #funny
#Queensland, #Australia #birds #photography #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography

A large stork with a green-black head and neck, big black beak, white body and wings with black under the wings, which are out-stretched, and a black tail, and red legs appears to have jumped into the air from a rain drop covered grassland with shrubs and a pond in the near background and a forest in the far background.

A pair of white cockatoos with blue rings around their eyes, pink faces, and some yellow under their tails, cuddle close together while in the branch of a tree.

Why isn't this signed with the appropriate "Seig Heil" and "Uber alles!"? Or is that just reserved for internal DHS memos?

Neil Cameron @neilcam57.bsky.social · 2d

We do have some spectacular birds.

Neil Cameron @neilcam57.bsky.social · 2d

Yeh, funny how an otherwise unremarkable bird can look cute.

Neil Cameron @neilcam57.bsky.social · 2d

Thank you! And yeh, the eyes are what made me anthropormophise it. 😀🙃🤪

Given the alternate for #BirdOfTheDay is #Ducks, here's a Pacific Black Duck x Mallard hybrid experiencing existential dread when it realises its bill looks like a cartoon dog.
