Four species of birds to enjoy.
Some beauty and some trick questions.
First up is the African Hoopoe that took a stroll ahead of us.
I have a few wild birds in here to show you their beauty and I also have a few trick questions to see how you can inspect pictures for differences.
Maybe I must send my photos to an eye specialist for use on his patients to determine if their eye sight is still good:)
So come, let's test your eyes!
This beauty is an African Hoopoe (Upupa africana).
Here is your first trick question. This is a Cape Sugarbird and he also appears in the next photo.
I want to know what the differences are between the two photos of the sugarbird.
Cape Sugarbird "Promerops cafer".
This is obviously a bathing bird and her name is Chi-chi.
Look at her beauty after she had a bath.
She is a Speckled pigeon (Columba guinea).
Now keep an eye on the following three photos.
Robbie the guy was watching his wife bathing.
They are Cape Robin-chats (Cossypha caffra).
After the bath it was, of course, dinner time and Marian put their dried worms out.
It was a community dinner time and the robin didn't mind the squirrel also having dinner.
Finally, my last question. See if you can see the robin here.
Okay, I have tried to show you some beautiful birds here, and we are blessed to see them almost daily. In fact, we see Chi-chi and the robins everyday because they live here.
Some bad news is that we might have to stop feeding the birds and the squirrels as a new by-law forbids this.
The by-law will be effective from June 2022 and we will see if we can apply for a permit because we don't feed them in "common property" of the complex, but in our garden.
Understandably, Marian and I are taking this hard but we will see what we can do as we love our wild animals and birds.
Such is life with all of its struggles.
And That's All Friends!

So beautiful
What's this surprise again?
You always show great things,
So beautiful 🤩👏
No surprise here methinks.
Thank you.
That's pretty awesome for a smartphone user like me 🤗
Because I can't take photos of birds like that 👏👍🙌😊
Thank you and some others here get nice photos of birds with smartphones.
Maybe you must ask them how they do it?
All those birds are really awesome. The African Hoopoe's the lips is very long and the curls of heads is very beautiful to look at. At the same time, it is wonderful to see the color of the bird. And the tail of the second bird is much longer. Which makes the bird look very beautiful. All the birds are very beautiful and exceptional. These birds are not seen in our area. You have done a lot of beautiful bird photography.
Wow! Lots of beautiful here and thank you.
As you know I love nature and all of it's residents, son it is only a great pleasure to show them to all here on Hive.
Glad that you enjoyed it and have a good new week.

Apart from jumping from the high to the low flower?
Oh yes, you also have 50% correct in that question, as there is also another difference in it.
Thank you kindly for the curator support and it is seriously appreciated 😊
Have some !PIZZA from me with !LUV
@papilloncharity(1/5) gave you
How about male and female, or juvenile and adult?
Nope, a good choice but both photos are the same bird.
You were right with the different flowers and the other answer is that the bird is looking in different directions.
!PIZZA
Wow so close to an Hopoe, I was lucky this year to find one breeding but I never got so close.
Thank you and they are indeed beautiful birds. But like all birds, they don't trust humans and you know the reason for that.
I hope that you will get close to one some day.
!PIZZA
As far as I have seen, South Africa hosts many species of birds.
Oh yes, a few hundred species reside here. Many of the species only come here for breeding in summer and after breeding they fly back to their own countries.

The first trick question. The bird in the second pic is sitting on a shorter flower and facing the other way
Congratulations you are 100% correct. The change between the flowers and the change in direction are the differences.
