miss job hunting back in the day when you could just ride into town on a horse and be like “i’m a doctor” and everybody was like “cool no need to see if that checks out or anything”
I had to make this post to go along with this video, because really, Crested pigeons (Ocyphaps lophotes, top three photos) are freaking pretty. I’ve also included another Australian Columbid that I’m jealous of, the Common Bronzewing (Phaps chalcoptera, bottom three photos).
Well, the crested ones anyway – the Bronzewings I’ve seen in a local nature reserve. Most people focus on the weird marsupials or deadly things in Australia but we actually have a lot of terrific birds.
