Ha, ha! That bird looks very cross indeed. So angry and puffed up, and yet also so cute.

Every time I see that photo, I start giggling. I wonder if the original Angry Birds designers saw a similar bird, somewhere in Finland...

As I said somewhere--Flickr? No, I think on Facebook--the name "superb fairy wren" is, itself, superb.

The colors in that first photo. Is that what it's like for you, being there? So golden.

It was, but only for about fifteen minutes while the sun was rising.

And, yes, if you're going to be an immature male fairy wren, you might as well be a superb one...
