JAN 16, duplicate re avian talking heads

 

TALKING HEADS

Photos of this ilk, and other posts displaying mammals and 'lower' animals, were obtained by Giorgio Coniglio using an i-phone camera at various locations, mostly in the 'wild'; a minority was obtained at zoos, museums, aquariums and wildlife sanctuaries (and a few, in desperation, were obtained by rummaging in his library). The collection was originally posted Sep 19, 2023, but has been extended since that date; this will be the first offering of avian talking heads.





Talking Heads are a media resource:
Seasoned viewers at breaking news' source,
As in sports, storms, disasters.
But they're sometimes just 'masters'
Who the show-host's weird views reinforce.

Giorgio Coniglio
