If you take a feral pigeon, bleach it and then batik it using the right colors, the result might be a Pink-necked Green Pigeon (1). If on the other hand you take a zebra, shrink it and attach wings, the punishment may be similar, but the result will not be a Zebra Dove.

The Big Five–lion, leopard, African buffalo, elephant, and rhinoceros–are impressive, but my heart lies with the patterned mammals, giraffes and zebras. Sadly, we weren’t able to join them or the leopard.

We achieved that and had a short bushwalk to get the Zebra Finch and were lucky enough to also come across Grey-headed Honeyeaters , which was one more for the year list. We were not too happy to see a feral cat in the middle of the day eyeing off the shorebirds on the edge of the lagoon. Such are the vagaries of birding!
