Thai Bird Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is a native bird of Phi Phi Island, in Thailand. It's a very dare bird that came to your table to "stole" some human food like french fries, of course. How in this world don't like french fries?

A very difficult photo for TE Leonardo, as many don't like to see wild animals but on the other hand this shot wouldn't certainly not fit on TE neither. The bird makes me think at the Kaka in India, there are black there and very daring too. About the french fries, the origine is most probably not French but Belgian or Spanish like Wikipedia says "However, as Belgian immigrants lived in Spain at the time, it may have well been a 'Spanish' dish invented by a Belgian chef.", Belgium's national dish !
A pleasant variation of subject, nicely framed with the palms as bg and sitting on the chair.
greetings from Belgium :)).

Bonjour Leonardo,
Un bel oiseau dans un fouilli coloré. Les couleurs sont naturelles et traduisent une légère surexposition.
Merci aux frites d'avoir retardé l'envol de ce superbe visiteur.
Amicalement.
Jacques

Olha aí o primo abrindo o sarcófago! E veio logo trazendo das tumbas um tesourinho! Que legal o pássaro! Nitidez excelente e ótimo timing para a captura, especialmente com o bico aberto e pronto para roubar as suas batatinhas! Valeu! Ânimo!
abraço,
Zeca
