Ducks on ice are great. Drop a bit of bread and their legs go as fast as they can to get to it, but they end up skating on the spot and then fall over. The one on the right is about to fall over.

I was captivated by the grooming/greeting behaviour of these Kaka which was at times tender and at times robust, almost violent. It seemed one was a younger bird constantly chuckling like a high-pitched hen which seemed to be a "feed me" call. The other bird groomed it but resisted attempts by the younger bird to secure a feed, punishing such efforts with very vigourous bites to the neck and head.

Kaka are a parrot endemic to the forests of New Zealand.
There are two subspecies, the North Island Kākā, Nestor meridionalis septentrionalis, and the South Island Kākā, N. m. meridionalis. The name Kākā is a Māori language word meaning "parrot".
The New Zealand Kaka is a medium sized parrot, around 45 cm (18 in) in length and weighing about 550 g, and is closely related to the Kea (also native to New Zealand and the worl’d only alipine parrot) but has darker plumage and is more arboreal. The forehead and crown are greyish-white and the nape is greyish-brown. The neck and abdomen are more reddish, while the wings are more brownish. Both sub-species have a strongly patterned brown/green/grey plumage with orange and scarlet flashes under the wings; color variants which show red to yellow coloration especially on the breast are sometimes found.
The calls include a harsh ka-aa and a whistling u-wiia.
The New Zealand Kaka lives in lowland and mid-altitude native forest. Its strongholds are currently the offshore reserves of Kapiti Island, Codfish Island and Little Barrier Island. It is breeding rapidly in the mainland island sanctuary at Zealandia, Karori Sanctuary, with over 100 chicks hatched since their reintroduction in 2002 to the extent that Wellington, New Zealand’s capital, is now uniquely the only city in New Zealamd where kaka are returning to suburban gardens.
The New Zealand Kaka, like many parrots, uses its feet to hold its food. It feeds on fruits, berries, seeds, flowers, buds, nectar and invertebrates. It uses its strong beak to shred the cones of the kauri tree to obtain the seeds. It has a brush tongue with which it feeds on nectar, and it uses its strong beak to dig out the grubs of the longhorn beetle.
Kaka make their nests in hollow trees, laying clutches of 2 to 4 eggs in late winter. Both parents assist in feeding the chicks.
The New Zealand Kaka is considered vulnerabl. It has greatly declined, in part from habitat loss, in part because of introduced wasps, possums and bees, which compete with the New Zealand Kaka for food. Introduced stoats, rats and domestic cats also take a heavy toll of chicks and sitting hens.

We are conducting a series of behavioural bioassays with honeybees using artificial flowers that are supplemented with a scented septum. Different synthetic odour compounds are used to test the preferences of bees for unscented vs. scented flowers, among other things. Zürich (CH), 4.xii.2009
If you ever get close to a human
And human behaviour
Be ready, be ready to get confused
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
To human behaviour
But yet so, yet so irresistible
And there's no map
and a compass
wouldn't help at all
They're terribly moody
And human behaviour
Then all of a sudden turn happy
Odd behaviour moment:
This Jack Jumper (Myrmecia pilosula) is actually holding it's prey high to the sky on top of grass stalks. Why -- I haven't a clue. Oddly I first noticed her doing this a couple of metres away on top of a small standing sawed log. She promptly went to the ground where another Jack Jumper tried to steal her prey (very bottom pic). A very vigorous fight ensued over varried terrain until she eventually regained control only to immediately climb the first stalk she found to show off this unfortunate stilleto fly to who know's what?
