This glamorous fellow is a Nicobar Pigeon. We met him at Bristol Zoo, in the Bird Forest. It’s a little section that you can walk through with lots of birds flying (or in fact mostly walking) around freely.
We also met a Roul Roul Partridge, who has an excellent punk hairdo and does a funny little dance when he digs in the leaves on the ground. He was the perfect size to pop in my pocket and smuggle out of the zoo, but I think they might have noticed. Shame.
I tried really hard to take a photo of the Nicobar Pigeons bathing in a little waterfall, but sadly it was just too dark in that section of the forest. You’ll just have to imagine how pretty they looked with the light and water bouncing off their feathers.
