I spy with my little eye a Harris Hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus), formerly known as the bay-winged hawk or dusky hawk.The name is derived from the Greek para, meaning beside, near or like, and the Latin buteo, referring to a kind of buzzard; uni meaning once; and cinctus meaning girdled, referring to the white band at the tip of the tail. John James Audubon gave this bird its English name in honor of his friend Edward Harris. Which friend would you name a bird after if you had the opportunity?...

Just finished work on this Papuan lorikeet, also known as Stella's lorikeet and Mount-Goliath lorikeet (Charmosyna papou). It is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. It is found in New Guinea. And speaking of Asian Birds.... can you tell me which other bird is visible in this picture? 🔎🤔❤️

Like other crowned pigeons, the Victoria crowned pigeon is a gregarious species. They usually travel in pairs or small parties as they search for food. They walk with an unhurried gait along the forest floor. Their food typically consists of fallen fruit. Do you know their favourite fruit? 🥰🍇

Ready for the hunt! The Harris's hawk is notable for its behaviour of hunting cooperatively in packs consisting of tolerant groups, while other raptors often hunt alone. Harris hawks' social nature has been attributed to their intelligence, which makes them easy to train and have made them a popular bird for use in falconry. What is your favourite kind of hawk? Let us know in the comments below! 😍👇🏼🦅
