My wife and I were having a picnic lunch recently in the
parklands next to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. As usual, the Noisy Miners came
hopping around our feet looking for handouts and crumbs. the Crested Pigeons
also came out in force, with up to a dozen or so within a few metres of
us.
As we were admiring their beautiful colours in the sunshine, one of the
males began a courtship display only a metre in front of us. It was really
spectacular to see the tail fanned out and all the colours so close up!
