Hi,

these guys must be among the most entertaining birds to watch. They are very noisy and quite plain looking, that's why most people don't really like them down here, but if you look closely, you can see amazing behavior!
They do seem to enjoy lying on their backs with their feet up in the air quite a bit :)
