These birds are so entertaining.. and so primitive looking. Their call always makes me think of Qld.

I have to laugh with his/her appearance! A bald pigeon-like birdie?? and then I look at the name Philemon and reminds me of a cartoon character we have in Spain and yes, that explains the baldness...see here: http://es.mortadelo-y-filemn.wikia.com/wiki/Filem%C3%B3n Heehee, sorry for the jokes, I had to. Is such an adorable cutie bird! Thanks for sharing! :-)
