Great set! They are stunning birds - my only complaint about the photo safari I took in South Africa was that everyone was so "focused" on getting photos of the large mammals that they were not interested in getting photos of some pretty amazing birds we saw - like this one, the Southern Hornbill, Korey Bustard, and others. I had to ask the driver to stop several times.
One of the prettiest birds! It is also the national bird of Kenya. They have around 8 colors; green, white, black, yellow, turquoise, dark blue, reddish brown, and of course lilac.
Really nice photos!
The bird looks like someone went berserk with a paint brush!
