Garden: Bird in Hand

Worth even more [than any two bush birds...] in large
Extra: Lifting Koi

Imogen tried to pick up (/hold) the duckules today... They'll come right over for food, and Flügel and Ida don't mind being stroked (and Kappa is getting there), but Im, surprisingly, got furthest with Koi (see extra)! Im tempted them over with mealworms, then slide her other hand underneath while they were distracted. They're pretty tame really, but being held is rather outside of their experience. Kappa leapt out of Imogen's hand moments after my blip shot...
My extra shows Koi just before lift-off. These shots also show scale perhaps; Kappa's the smallest, then Koi, then Ida, and Flügel's by far the biggest, Koi is most round.
