The Nicobar pigeon is a member of the pigeon and dove family Columbidae. The Nicobar pigeon is the closest living species to the extinct dodo bird. It is native to the Nicobar Islands, which is where it gets its name. Their diet consists of mostly seeds, fruits, and plant buds, as well as some grains. Nicobar pigeons roam in flocks and exhibit the strange habit of flying in single-file lines. On average, Nicobar pigeons measure around 16 inches long. They feature a grey head, grey-green neck hackles, a white tail, and a metallic blue-green body. Due to hunting for their feathers and meat, the IUCN lists the Nicobar pigeon as a Near Threatened species.
Sears 50mm f/1.4: Wire separator; I've seen them for years on the overhead electrical lines in certain areas, and thought that they looked like penguins. Late last fall, after several phone calls, I found a company that would sell me one. It had been sitting in the garage since. The other day I somehow got on a dodo kick, and here you are: painted white and hanging on the dining room wall...
What do you think, forced perspective?
The Dodo half-flew-half-hopped up the rocks to catch Lisette as she walked by. He startled her a little at first but made her smile with a dance he'd been practicing for her and then wished her a magical day <3

Analogica con la reflex Zeiss Contaflex super, Kodak color 200 asa. Avevo già scattato delle foto simili con la Zorki 2 c a telemetro ma il risultato è molto simile, pur se assai diverse sono due ottime fotocamere che permettono a tutti di fare foto decenti.
The dodo, seen at The world of the Dutch East India Company exhibition.
The dodo (Raphus cucullatus) is an extinct flightless bird that was endemic to the island of Mauritius, east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. The dodo's closest genetic relativewas the also extinct Rodrigues solitaire, the two forming the subfamily Raphinae of the family of pigeons and doves. The closest living relative of the dodo is the Nicobar pigeon.
Subfossil remains show the dodo was about 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) tall and may have weighed 10.6–17.5 kg (23–39 lb) in the wild. The dodo's appearance in life is evidenced only by drawings, paintings, and written accounts from the 17th century.
The first recorded mention of the dodo was by Dutch sailors in 1598. In the following years, the bird was hunted by sailors and invasive species, while its habitat was being destroyed. The last widely accepted sighting of a dodo was in 1662. Its extinction was not immediately noticed, and some considered it to be a mythical creature. In the 19th century, research was conducted on a small quantity of remains of four specimens that had been brought to Europe in the early 17th century. Among these is a dried head, the only soft tissue of the dodo that remains today. Since then, a large amount of subfossil material has been collected on Mauritius, mostly from the Mare aux Songes swamp. The extinction of the dodo within less than a century of its discovery called attention to the previously unrecognised problem of human involvement in the disappearance of entire species. The dodo achieved widespread recognition from its role in the story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and it has since become a fixture in popular culture, often as a symbol of extinction and obsolescence.

Meet Dodo, our 1 year old beagle. This shot was taken last year, when he was just a pup. How not to adore this goofy face?

"Named by it's creator, Lord Cornelius Cork, After the extinct species of flightless bird, The Dodo walker was originally designed to be a flying servailance pod. However, as the Steam turbines required to enable the metal structure to fly were too heavy, Cork took his design back to the drawing boards and turned it into a Light Transpotational Walker. His Steam Belt and motor design revolutionised the way the Nations around the globe could travel."
