This bird looks like an Ibis to me, but I can't identify it. Frustrating.

This was a very strikingly beautiful bird with its totally blue feathers, but I do not know its name.

The African Fish Eagle is not a true fish eagle, rather it's actually a sea eagle. And yes, there are people for whom that fact matters.

Another photo of this gorgeous pigeon. Wouldn't it be great if these birds were the ones flying around our cities and sitting on our statues?

I thought this small wading bird would be easy to identify, but alas, for me it was not.

I thought this was a bustard of some sort or perhaps a guan. However, I have not been able to identify it. If anyone can help please do, I'd appreciate it. Rudolf Saturday 8 March 2014 Chauna torquata - Southern Screamer

Not much more than the snout could be seen of this unique Red River Hog. I'm not sure why but this is one of my favorite animals.

Wikipedia stated that "This species was first discovered new to science by Otto Finsch who found a live bird received from the dealer C. Scheepmaker in Amsterdam Zoo and named it after him." Yet, the article is for the Southern Crowned Pigeon. The L.A. Zoo sign called this bird Sheepmaker's Crowned Pigeon and it was softly glowing in the dappled sunlight of the aviary.

I would not like to meet an angry flamingo if those eyes are any indication of temperment.
