Remember this guy?
Au Naturel by Mouselemur
We were really happy with the natural looking environment in this photo of one favorite birds: a Turaco, a White-Cheeked one. We didn't have the best angle to get good photos of him during the flight demo, but when Lust0fADeeperPain expressed how much she loved it we went and looked for some more photos of the session - and she loved this photo.
It took some time, but here it is!
At first, we didn't choose to submit it because his tail isn't all the way in the picture, and you can see the flat metal disc on his back - he's wearing a GPS like a sort of backpack. Because they're so freely to fly around (even though Turacos tend to hop more than fly) all the smaller birds are given such a backpack so in case something does happen they can find them using the GPS.

I just love how his crest is up in this photo :D

Species: White-cheeked Turaco (Witwangtoerako)
