Description
I recently came upon this picture of a Victoria Crowned Pigeon I had photographed about seven years ago--which feels like another lifetime--in the National Aviary. Β I don't know why I didn't post it at the time, but I thought it was worth resurrecting. ΒRelated content

We have two of these lovelies at our zoo! These guys always know where to hide, so they're the hardest to get a good picture of.
I know I don't have a great picture of them like this one. XP

You're right that VCPs tend to be secretive and difficult to photograph, but then anytime a bird reveals itself close-up is a gift! Β I hope that you get such a gift soon. Β Thanks for commenting!

It's like someone put a miniature peacock inside this bird's head... and now that peacock's tail has turned into a crest O_o.
Heh, anyway, this is one beautiful bird species! Lots of light blue, some black, some white, a dash of lilac and finally, a captivating bright red eye. This bird is like a living gemstone, or a brooch. No wonder it's been named after a queen - it looks very regal.
Thank you for sharing this . I learned something new today.
