I don't think we have this kind of bird on my side of the earth. He would probably croak on the heat😁😍
I love their color, so handsomely perfect, very dashing! The females birds are so lucky to have males all growing to be loved by them. Like they exist to win over the heart of their beloved....haha. just stick to one and die for it. I Hope all hoooman males will be like them😍🤭🤭😄😄😄
Well, I am lucky! Got me a dashing debonair who will stick with me through heat and cold! 

Thank you so much for sharing with us your beautiful awesome birds there in South Africa. Atleast I've seen the birds perhaps the people and the country in the nearest future, whenever that may be!😄😄
Have e a great Sunday Ms. Joan.
Sending some love from the intense heat of the summer sun, Philippines! 

Love the colors of your Cape Weaver so much..! 😍

lovely captures all crisp and clear, and birds are not the easiest of subjects. The things males will go through to find a female, it's a hard life

Good afternoon dear friend @joanstewart
I am always delighted with the beautiful species of birds that live there. I loved getting to know these beautiful birds, and the things that make male birds look different.
Beautiful photographs, I take this opportunity to wish you a happy start to the weekend

This is an absolutely stunning shot!

Joan, your photos are truly beautiful!
A friend and I were at the Kloof SPCA yesterday, and seeing the male and female peacocks there shows just how handsome the fellas are. A guy who works there remarked that although that is the case in the animal kingdom, the opposite is the case with the human species. We had quite a chuckle at that.
Have a wonderful weekend! 

Stunning shots! Got to say that we lack very colourful birds, like the Cape Weaver. So bright, so handsome.🙂

Who's a pretty boy then!

These are gorgeous male birds Joan, I know here it is the males that are generally more colourful. I should see what I have for this one!

Great shots

Not only do you have so many cool birds in striking distance from your residency, when you run across them, you take some beautiful pictures.

Thanks for the lesson in identifying these birds, some subtle differences and some easy to tell. I wonder if the female starling's gray scalp got that way because of her male partner?  😁
