This wonderful guy was busking just by ours the other day he was very entertaining.
He knew 99.9 % of his notes, but when he hit one of the 0.1% he had the wonderful gift of raising one eyebrow, absolute hilarity. Well worth a quid!
The turquoise-browed motmot (Eumomota superciliosa) is a colourful, medium-sized bird of the motmot family, Momotidae. It inhabits Central America from south-east Mexico (mostly the Yucatán Peninsula), to Costa Rica, where it is common and not considered threatened. It lives in fairly open habitats such as forest edge, gallery forest and scrubland. It is more conspicuous than other motmots, often perching in the open on wires and fences. From these perches it scans for prey, such as insects and small reptiles. White eggs (3–6) are laid in a long tunnel nest in an earth bank or sometimes in a quarry or fresh-water well. Its name originates from the turquoise color of its brow.

The bird is approximately 34 cm (13 in) long and weighs about 65 g (2.3 oz). It has a mostly green-blue body with a rufous back and belly. There is a bright blue stripe above the eye and a blue-bordered black patch on the throat. The flight feathers and upperside of the tail are blue. The tips of the tail feathers are shaped like rackets and the bare feather shafts are longer than in other motmots. Although it is often said that motmots pluck the barbs off their tail to create the racketed shape, this is not true; the barbs are weakly attached and fall off due to abrasion with substrates and with routine preening.[2]
Unlike most bird species, where only males express elaborate traits, the turquoise-browed motmot expresses the extraordinary racketed tail in both sexes. Research indicates that the tail has evolved to function differently for the sexes. Males apparently use their tail as a sexual signal, as males with longer tails have greater pairing success and reproductive success.[3] In addition to this function, the tail is used by both sexes in a wag-display, whereby the tail is moved back-and-forth in a pendulous fashion.[4] The wag-display is performed in a context unrelated to mating: both sexes perform the wag-display in the presence of a predator, and the display is thought to confer naturally selected benefits by communicating to the predator that it has been seen and that pursuit will not result in capture. This form of interspecific communication is referred to as a pursuit-deterrent signal.[5]
The call is nasal, croaking and far-carrying.
The turquoise-browed motmot is a well-known bird in its range and has been chosen as the national bird of both El Salvador and Nicaragua. It has acquired a number of local names including guardabarranco ("ravine-guard") in Nicaragua, torogoz in El Salvador (based on its call) and pájaro reloj ("clock bird") in the Yucatán, based on its habit of wagging its tail like a pendulum. In Costa Rica it is known as momoto cejiceleste or the far-less flattering pájaro bobo ("foolish bird"), owing to its tendency to allow humans to come very near it without flying away

Species Name: Red-browed Finch
Species Latin Name: Neochmia temporalis
Sub Species Names:
Native To: East Coast of Australia
Conservation Status: Least Concern
Size (length): 11-12cm (0.4-4.7 inches)
Weight: 8-14.6g (0.3-0.5oz)
Lifespan: 6-7 Years
Description:
These beautiful small finches feature a variety of colours across their body. Their main body will be a light gray with their the tips of their wings, tail and the top of their head being a darker shade of gray. The upper portion of their tail and their brow will be a vibrant reddish-orange colour. The main portion of their wings will be a dark greenish colour with a more vibrant yellowish-green around the back of their neck. Their bills are a vibrant red with black strips on the top and bottom. These birds have small brown eyes
Diet:
These small birds will typically feed on seed as well as small insects that are on the ground. Occassionally these birds will perch on seeding grass heads before the seed itself falls to the ground. These birds will mostly live on native grass and sedge seed but are quite content with eating introduced seeds as well.
Behaviour:
These are highly social birds that tend to flock together in groups of around ten to twenty individuals. These flocks will prefer open woodland areas, particularly the edges of forests where the brushy scrub meets cleared areas especially near creeks. These finches build large domed nests with a side entrance which is made from woven grass and small twigs. These nests are usually built 2-3 metres (6.6-9.8 feet) above the ground. As these birds are highly social these nests are also communal. Both the parents share the role of nest building, egg incubation, feeding and raising the young together. If these birds are disturbed in their flocks they will disperse letting out their short, high-pitched cheeps before re-congrating nearby.
Threats to the species:
This species is listed as least concern and has a healthy population throughout the eastern coast of Australia. That said there is indication from Animal Control CRC which indicates that the introduced Nutmeg Mannikin (Lonchura punctulata) currently threatens some native mannikin birds through increased competition. There are concerns that as the population increases for the Nutmeg Mannikin this could pose issues for the Red-browed Finch in Northern Queensland.

Endoscopic Forehead lift
Forehead lifts are also known as brow lifts. The forehead is most often lifted by making a hairline incision and removing excess forehead skin. Men with receding hairline do better with an incision in an existing forehead crease. The best way to lift the brow is endoscopically. Small incisions are made above the hairline to give access to the forehead (similar to laparoscopic abdominal surgery). The forehead is loosened, shifted up, and tacked down. Nothing is removed. The incisions are small so healing is very quick.
