Here's a Southern Lapwing. Beautiful !!! I wish he would have looked at me to get a front shot of him.
When I was a kid I had a couple (Male & Female) as pets in my back yard (loose, not in cages); very smart birds. I had them trained to eat from my hand. We kept their wings clipped for some time so they would not fly away but after some time they liked it there and they always came back to spend the night in their cage (they did spend the night in a cage) so we stopped clipping their wings. Man... they were loud......
Definitely.... my favorite bird....
