This beautiful bird isn’t in the least afraid of people and it allowed me to come very close to photograph it.
Then some nasty kids started scaring the bird and trying to chase it away while their parents stood by and grinned stupidly. Horrible children always come from horrible parents.
American children are almost without exception well-behaved and not annoying. But these were tourists, and their children were unexpectedly horrible.
