Little birdy

My favorite models are in birdy form!

A few years ago we were off on a round-trip down to Cape Town, South Africa. Around half way there, in the middle of nowhere we heard a disturbing noise coming from under the car and stopped to check what was wrong...

While the boys were checking the car, I found myself a little birdy that looked a bit thirsty, I filled up some bottle caps of water for him and after a little drink, he posed beautifully for me to take some cute photos.

He even fluffed up his feathers for me.

Luckily there was nothing wrong with the car, it was just a false alarm but it was definitely fate that made us stop to find my little birdy.

I still think about my model from the middle of nowhere, maybe we will meet again one day...
