EXOTIC BIRDS - NO LIMIT

Antarctic cruise aboard Marco Polo. This shot was taken from a Zodiac during one of the excursions. Canon 10D was the first serious digital camera for the layman. This photo still looks great after nearly 2 decades against all the new kids on the block today!
The flower of the edible passionfruit, Passiflora edulis.
For me passionfruit flowers are just as exotic as orchids.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for visiting! I am very grateful for and appreciative of the kind comments and faves which have been left.
Macro Monday - Sweet or Savoury
I seldom eat chips, but these are pretty good. It is a blend of yuca, sweet potato, parsnip, taro, and batata.
These chips are made with real vegetables, gluten-free, vegan, non-GMOr. 0mg of cholesterol and 0g of trans fat and no artificial flavors or artificial preservatives.
I know, too good to be true :)
Another important inhabitant of the Atlantic Forest, I present here two photos of the Saffron Toucanet (Pteroglossus bailloni) / Araçari-banana.
It measures 35 to 39cm in length, and its weight, between 156 and 169g. The beak has various shades of green and yellow. There is a red area around the median part of the maxilla, with diffuse green margins that gradually turn grayish blue. The male's beak is larger than that of the female, which is also different in color: green tends more to olive and grayish. Thus, the male's colors are more vivid.
It feeds on fruits, insects, as well as eggs and chicks of other birds.
Little is known about the reproductive biology of this species. The nests are built in hollows, holes in trees and in termite mounds. It often uses woodpecker nests. The male courts the female singing and giving her food. In captivity, laying of 2 to 3 white eggs was observed. Parental care is provided by both sexes. The incubation period lasts about 16 days. There are references that report 2 to 4 eggs.
It usually lives in small groups of 5 to 7 individuals. A species of forestry habits, it jumps from branch to branch and is not in the habit of flying over rivers and lakes. Inhabits the canopy of tall forests in mountainous regions. It uses its relatively long beak to defend itself from predators and usually attacks other birds' nests. It is an important animal in the seed dispersal process.

2020 Lamborghini Adventador SVJ Coupe
With wild-looking bodywork and dramatic performance, the 2020 Lamborghini Aventador is spectacular in every sense of the word. It's also the last of a dying breed, with hybrid technology expected to enhance future iterations of the V-12 supercar. Still, this wedge-shaped, scissor-doored Lambo blasts into the sunset with neck-snapping acceleration and a maniacal exhaust note.
The 2020 Aventador powertrain hierarchy begins with a mid-mounted naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 that develops 730 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque that is transmitted to the wheels via a seven-speed automated-manual transmission. This basic setup is shared among the three distinct variants, but the track-focused SVJ (which stands for Superveloce Jota) has various enhancements that unlock extra horsepower and torque that meet the pavement through all four wheels. We drove this brutally powerful monster—along with its roofless counterpart—and experienced their tremendous acceleration and kidney-crushing cornering forces firsthand. The hefty machines heaved through the corners, but their incredible grip and rear-steering system helped it change direction.
