BIG WOW … that is an incredible photo. You must have been over-the-top when you captured this image. PERFECT for symmetry and PERFECT for Valentine’s Day. 😍
p.s. They look like they are staring at you … perhaps, they need their privacy. 😃
LikeLike
(P.S.) Just the opposite, in fact. They were performing for the camera, as they had done for thousands a tourists, probably. They were well trained :-) So I was able to get quite a few shots of them over half an hour or so….
Thanks!!

It’s fascinating that a wild animal or bird can be taught to do something like this. I hope to get a photo like yours one day.
Bucket List !!! : )

Yes, wild animals can be trained—just offer them food! But I didn’t mean that these birds were trained by humans. They were self-trained…
