Default Beauty from all sides

Some shots I took at the Katikati bird park.

This is the first time I have seen a peacock fan its tail long enough to take a shot. He was so proud and loved showing off his gorgeous display for everyone.

The back is just as beautiful as the front.

I haven't seen a brown dove before so had to take this shot.

A beautiful coloured pheasant.

Thanks for looking.

Gorgeous shots! I really love the one of the peacock! I wonder if the brown dove is a mourning dove?

Angelb, nice set! All very colorful and pleasant to the eye. The brown dove is very unique which would be a rare find elsewhere. Good job
