Amazing birds!
I am so happy to see that they live free, that the their "cage" is the Nature!
Congratulations for this video, the images are spectacular!

It is that first time I have seen a male and female feeding together in all the time I have been watching them, it was just lucky that I had my camera at the ready, left it on a tripod and captured the amazing scene
