NZ Pukeko

One of the Pukeko family (aka Swamp hens) that visit our back yard. I get a real kick out of watching these birds. They are happier running than flying and they also use their feet to eat just like a parrot! Looks weird!

P.S. spot the fat cat!

I saw this photo on a different forum first, and was amazed to see the free flighted 'toos as well as a mitred with a hyacinth....

Amazing photo though!
