Hi,

This has been a bird I wanted to get for a long time. Australia has a bunch of awesome pigeons and this must be one of the coolest! 
These birds are actually pretty small and just run around the ground, almost like quails.
I missed out on a good photo at multiple locations, but then bumped into a small flock by chance a few days later. When I approached the birds, they jumped on small termite mounds!

You would think this was a painting, the colours and composition are stellar.
