Beautiful, Rob, and so nice to get them both. It's interesting to see the different length tail feathers. Is this a gender thing?

The small version doesn't do it justice, everyone needs to view the large one. Really wonderful! :toast:

Very nice perch, pose and BG for this pair of attractive birds. I would love to hear the "rollicking, chortling" call :smile: I wonder if it can be found on the internet.
