The photos are incredible; they remind me of the blue pigeon, a relative of the European turtle dove, but smaller. One of these used to perch on my roof to rest and drink from a fountain I had. I loved sitting and watching it. I also know a bird very similar to the Cape capercaillie, called the codornis. I used to see flocks of these at all hours of the day during their season. I loved your post; it brought back many fond memories. Excellent post.
