Description
I have shot a couple of nice images of some Grey Louries in my yard. This is the first of a few that I will upload as I get time during the next week or so. This one is an adult. Some info on these birds from Wiki:
The Grey Go-away-bird (Corythaixoides concolor), also known as Grey Lourie, Grey Loerie, or Kwevoel, is a southern African bird of uniform grey with black beak and strikingly pink gape. It is widespread in savanna woodland, a clumsy flier though extremely agile in clambering through tree crowns. It has a distinctive loud alarm call "quare", fancifully sounding like "Go-away". The crest is raised when excited.
Its diet is mainly fruit (such as wild figs and berries), flowers, buds, leaves, termites, and snails. Its habitat is dry open savanna woodlands, farms, parks, and suburban gardens, often near water.
Thank you for popping in and for your very welcome comments and favs on my last upload "Mieke's Hands."
