This is a bird almost extinct. The Logde have a breeding program to try to save them and we were allowed to see them in their cages. They are beautiful and very colorful. But hard to photograph in the cage.

  2. I really hope that they can create a reliable breeding population and keep them going. Isn't it sad how many species we are losing.
