It is flesh growths. Definitely not feathers.
What are those knobs made of? Not feathers. Do you know?
So funny!
Nice video!! :)
Added a video of it feeding.
Hermoso !!!
@Argybee: Yes, but I could not see the nest as it was hidden from the hide where I sat.
Fantastic. I agree PatriciaPi. I suppose it is nest building.
What a unique bird. Those "knobs" look like big red cartoon eyeballs!! I love it! :)
Very Beautiful,,
wow! love the second one!
