  1. You are sooooo close to him, Andy! He could have gotten you at any second... That is an impressive bird of prey and I would keep my distance.

    Great shot!

  6. Gloves are a smart idea. Those talons look sharp.

  7. No. Really, Andy? To keep the gulls away? Does he attack them, or are they just afraid of him on principle?

  10. Kay... all the gulls have to do is see them. No attacks involved. I noticed they also kept the elephants away.

  12. He's gorgeous. I've always been fascinated by birds of prey and I'd love to have one sitting on my hand one day. For some reason, I trust them more than parrots to behave.
