Beautiful Animals

There are some beautiful birds in the world but perhaps none with a name quite as frightening as one species found in
New Guinea—the Dracula parrot. This is the nickname for the Pesquet’s parrot (Psittrichas fulgidus), which is endemic
to the island’s hill and montane rainforest. With rich black feathers and a scarlet red underbelly, it has all the coloration
of Count Dracula’s cape, but looks can be deceiving.

The Dracula parrot is a relatively large parrot, measuring a total length of about 18 inches and weighing between 1.5 and
1.75 pounds. Its long hooked beak and bare face, coupled with its large head, make it look a bit like a vulture. For that
reason, it’s sometimes also called a vulturine parrot.

Beautiful, Frank. What a joy to be able to watch the fishies!

Frank- Over the years, I have noticed that many dentists. (and sometimes doctors, but not as many) have fish tanks in their waiting rooms. I believe that the reason for this is that watching fishes swim, makes for a wonderful form of relaxation.
