We went to the Katikati bird gardens again last week. So many birds, so many picture opportunities!
I have to take some time to sort them out though. Until then can you help me figure out what this bird is called? I think it's some kind of a goose, but seriously, what kind of a self-respecting goose has a fluorescent green beak?!

Looks like something out of The Barrens (yes, it's a WOW reference :P)
A bit of an attention whore too.
Any ideas on what this bird is called?

This looks like a job for... a biologist!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fine example of a Cereopsis novaehollandiae or Cape Barren Goose, obviously imported from Australia.
Oh wow, thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I was thinking someone simply had leftover paint and a wee bit too much fun over Easter :)
Biologists FTW.
