Is there a special name for this bird in your native language ('zuid Afrikaans')?
Thank you very much! Yes we call it a Loerie, there are even streets and businesses named after the Loerie, truely legendary birds!Indeed a special and beautiful bird! Nice capture
Thanks Rassie, I almost dropped my camera when he came to sit, I was so excited!
Koos, do you have perhaps South African roots? Your first and last name points me to a Dutch or South African roots. Based on your knowledge of the existence of similar Loeries I assume more a South African background.
Jaap, my ancestors left Holland for South Africa 200 years ago. So yes, I was born and bred in South Africa.
