Brush Turkey Portrait

My brother-in-law suggested superimposing a telescopic sight with cross-hairs over this image. They have a lot of problems with them raking up their mulch. Very common and very much a nuisance up here.

This one from Lamington where they will steal your food from inside your tent if you aren't careful, I suspect it's the same along most of the east coast.

Wonderful capture of a very prehistoric looking subject Alan

Yes, I've seen what they can do with their digging.

I have Bower Birds - at least they are nicer to look at

butt ugly birds but come up well when phontographed. looks like they more approachable than the ones down here too. good work on this one

Thanks All.

Keeping them away is more of a problem than approaching them. Normally I wouldn't bother pointing the camera at them, but this one was hanging around and I thought a head shot might be interesting.

They certainly are a nuisance in the garden. But I don't mind a good photo of them, nicely done Alan.

So ugly it's cute.
How's the expression... look a bit disgruntled about your disparaging remarks.
