Regent Bower Bird
you
my golden bird
gentled
to my hand
do I own you?
are you free?
no
and
no
~
leave
golden wonder
fly from here
from me
who would
do you no kind
of harm
at all
but
break you
with love
all the same
~
fly (from my) no harm

It was. We also saw a whip bird up close. Another extraordinary critter.

I had a look, but I can’use the picture I took, Peggy. Too many people between it and me. Sorry.

Thanks Anne. I noticed that even though the birds are in the wild, they have been tamed to dependency for food by staff of the resort,I appreciated getting up close, but can’t help thinking about the reverse logic involved.
Gorgeous birds.
