| It's nice to be able to get close to your subjects.... |

Just for grins: Everyone's a critic
This evening I spent some time looking through photos for some print inspiration and came across these shots from a winter drawing expedition to the Denver Zoo.

ReplyDeleteHe's so cute - what kind of bird is he?
Glad to share a giggle with everyone. The critter in question is a Ross's turaco, a native of Africa. I suspect that the boldness of this particular bird means it had been hand-raised in captivity.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I wonder if hair-pulling behavior has some sort of evolutionary advantage.... ;-)
lol, could have been worse, could have left behind a souvenir on the paper ;p
ReplyDeleteMagic moment, I'd happily suffer the hair pulling. :)
