Other birds

Two videos I took durring my trip in Mazury Region in Poland. Mazury is called 'green lungs' of Poland due to huge forest coverage and hundredes of lakes, rivers and brooks.
Do see what I posted about the biggest parrot species ever discovered from New Zealand, that is the "Hercules parrot" (Heracles inexpectatus, nickname 'Squawkzilla'): https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-animal-...2#pid89362
Haycinth Macaws: with a length from the top of its head ton the tip of its tail of about 1 meter, it's the longest extant parrot. Living in Central and Eastern South America this protected specy is listed on the Appendix 1 of the CITIES.
Howard Cleland: " like a jumbo jet landing. A goliath heron finds a small cluster of rocks in the middle of the fast flowing river to look for an evening meal. "
A bearded reedling... A bird of Asia and Europe, belongs to the Panuridae family.
Dereck Joubert: " One carmine alone is the stuff of dreams … But you never see a single bird. Walk along the banks of the river and you will find a colony: a thousand birds together. It’s like an explosion on Murano, the place where they make Venetian glass. It’s as if someone had raided the island’s rubbish-tip and gathered tons and tons of shards and splinters of the brightest chandeliers, candelabra, tropical fish, cockerels, mermaids, horses, temple-maidens, clowns and loving-cups and hurled them into the air for the sun to turn them, at a stroke, from kitsch into perfect beauty. "
(A truly wonderful description from ’The Sacred Combe’ by Simon Barnes.)
