These are a couple of photos I took a few weeks ago; however, I didn't know the name of the bird, so I didn't want to post it. I found it plowing through a tour book looking for a vacation-spot that won't totally break the bank.

This little guy didn't really mind posing for the camera ... it kept looking around, but I'd approach step-by-step, really quiet.
When these take flight, it is one of the more amazing explosions of color you might imagine. Its as if, during their creation moment, they were forced to fly through a paintball tournament were fluorescent bullets were the norm.

Have an excellent week!
