In this thread you can post photos of beautiful birds.

If you have reached the maximum of 1000 images and don't want to delete images all the time in order to post new photos/images, you can also link to photos or articles with photos if you wish. 🙂

I will start with a real image for now, but I might do as you suggested in the future (link to photos or articles with photos)…

Very interesting thread!

I love those eyelashes!

This is beautiful, but also a bit weird I think.

Pictures of 'beautiful birds' is very nice, but could we have the names of the birds please?

That is if you know the name.

Google tells me that this bird is a 'bird with a funny tail'

The first one with eyelashes is the Secretary bird from Africa. It is a ground dwelling raptor.

Very interesting. Thanks for finding out.

I don't have much time right now, but I will see if I can find David Attenborough's footage on the weekend. I doubt it, but I would like to try.

If you know the names of the birds, you can add them to the images (which also helps with the problem of the 10 characters), or you can add a "spoiler". It is up to you.
