EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by Peter Steyn, we witness a truly regal moment in the avian world. Meet PS-7071, also known as the Western crowned-pigeon or the Great Goura – a true feathered monarch of Indonesia's lush forests. Perched atop her carefully constructed nest, PS-7071 showcases her magnificent crest with pride and elegance. With its vibrant blue hues and intricate patterns, it's no wonder why she is often referred to as the "masked pigeon". This stunning bird has certainly mastered the art of camouflage! But there's more to this photo than meets the eye. As we zoom in closer, we discover that PS-7071 is not just posing for a glamorous portrait; she is diligently incubating her precious eggs! Talk about multitasking like a pro! With an air of grace and determination, our crowned-pigeon heroine proves that motherhood knows no bounds when it comes to dedication. She guards her future chicks with unwavering commitment while showcasing her majestic beauty for all who are lucky enough to witness it. So let us raise our imaginary binoculars and salute this incredible creature from afar! May PS-7071 continue to inspire awe and admiration among nature enthusiasts worldwide. After all, nothing quite compares to witnessing Mother Nature at work – especially when she wears such a splendid crown!
