Re: Hoope Bird

Nice pic. It's also a native in a number of other countries, I believe.

I've seen them in Formentera and Madagascar.

Lovely in flight. And when the crest is up it is like a classy punk rocker. (If that's not an oxymoron...)

Sadly not, but I do have a painting of one. Will see if I can take a photo of it and put it on here for you.
