I like both photos, but my favourite is the bat, because I adore bats.

OK then

Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Thank you, but I preferred Chris O'Donnell as Robin.



At least he had the famous nipples as well as other attributes.

Many birds, unlike the inconstant modern human, commit themselves to long term relationships.  Some signify this by wearing rings.
It is known.

Take my advice, don't listen to me.

It helps when they just sit there and... Beakey sat there for quite a while
I had to get a bit precarious footing wise, (Truchanas in mind) to get the best angle



I'm continually astounded by feathers, when they are attached to their bird with their fellow feathers.
WordWeb -  astounded:Filled with the emotional impact of overwhelming surprise or shock  I'd prefer inspiration or pleasure.

Take my advice, don't listen to me.

I agree. It's good to a see photos with the eyes in sharp focus.

Gorgeous. What is this bird?

A dollarbird. 
That was from the zoo, they have a large aviary you can walk through.
The duck and the little blue/brown guy were from the zoo, and the peacock.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Well they existed in profusion on a once verdant island until the rats from the visiting ships.  They became quite rare, worth a whole dollar dead or alive to the men of science.

That's bullshit, they have a white bit on their wings visible when in flight that looked like silver dollars to the ornithologistical guys.
