Another great bird show.

I found this guy, an African Hoopoe (Upapa africana), busy eating on the roadside at a stop street.

In here you will see some amazing colors and lovely little birds on show, and I could use any of the photos in here as a tag picture. The reason why I chose the hoopoe was that we had a bit of an argument that I wanted to show you. There was also a little argument with another bird further down in the post, and I think that the birds don't like it when we take shots of them while they are eating.

Reminds me about how uncomfortable we as humans are when we feel somebody looking at us when we have a mouthful of food in a restaurant. Some people are so inquisitive that they will even watch the amount of food that you load on your fork. We can get upset when people do that, and I don't know where the birds learnt to do the same when they are eating. In my vivid imagination I have some idea about what the birds were saying to me.
So, come and see.

He flipped his head up to give me a quick look, but we sat in the car with the window down so that I could take shots of him.
