MAR 9, avian talking heads, N to R

 Today's Offering (Mar 9, 2025): TALKING HEADS

 This tongue-in-cheek collection is a followup to earlier blog-posts "Avian Talking Heads", as divided into easier to swallow sections alphabetically.

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. The first post in this extended collection can be found on January 19th, 2025.
