Nice image of a beautifully coloured bird. Slight pity about the OOF twig that's par for the course most of the time.

Interesting looking bird. It has some serious hardware for a beak. What do they eat?

[TobyMac]

Thanks everyone

Dan they eat mainly fruits but sometimes also Insects.

Same as Greg's comment, haven't seen this kind of bird before.

Thanks again, Izzie they are a local Southern African bird and even here they are rather rare, first time I have seen one in my garden.
