Attitude From Every Angle

A superb starling (Lamprotornis superbus) posed with a cavalier attitude from every angle. This colorful adult bird was spotted at the Dallas Zoo. The starling was most definitely NOT shy! Watching it as I clicked brought a smile to my face. It seemed to have the Texan attitude that I am so familiar with.

“What is a Texan attitude?” you ask. A Texan attitude is a sense of pride that can come across as arrogance to some. Yup! I was born and raised in Texas and proud of it too.

    Wonderful photos. I love these east-African birds a lot, and I like the sass and courage that they have. It’s typical of east-Africa, isn’t it?

    […] These gorillas were definitely displaying some attitude but they weren’t the only ones. Birds, starlings specifically, were featured on “Attitude From Every Angle.” […]

    Great response! Number two says ‘Who are you looking at?’ Number four is my favourite, this time he’s really giving it some! Thank you for taking part, Pepper. 🙂

    Nice portraits! The Dallas Zoo is among the better zoos I’ve seen. My wife and I spent two days exploring it. We had a great time. 😊

      Thanks! Yes, the Dallas Zoo is worth one of the nicer zoos and worth supporting. If you are ever back in the DFW area, the Fort Worth Zoo is also worth visiting. 😉

        Oh, my mistake. It was the Fort Worth Zoo we visited. I didn’t realize there were two zoos in the area. 😅

          I guess that means you’ll have to take another trip back to visit the Dallas Zoo this time. 😉
