Thanks Debbie. There are many really interesting and colorful birds in the Galapagos. They are not afraid of humans and you can get fairly close to some. #11358617

I do like birds & feed a variety that come into my yard daily. They have me trained, they even knock on the door if I'm a bit slow with the food. #11426144
