Bronzewing (female)

wink, also called "Moo-Bird" at my place. Some of the members that have been here for more than 2 year will remember how it came to that name? There were huge arguments at the time, (of course as always,caused by medevil), when someone wanted ID for a bird that calls: MOO, MOO. To that I answered: it wouldn't be a cow, because they don't fly and sit in trees and go moo.Still don't know why that went pearshaped, I can still laugh about it.

So here is one female Moo-Bird, sitting on the water bowl. Enjoy.

Thanks Neil, there is a pair of them, after she left the male turned up. Will try to get a photo of him. But they have had young, so you could be right. I love her toes and the long nailswink

Beautiful dove!  I love the irridescent bright colors in their feathers. 

And just for the record, I laughed at your moo-joke.  ;)
