That's waht she said.

Northern Royal Albatrosses (most majestic) and Yellow-Eyed Penguins (most striking) at Taiaroa Head on the Otago Peninsula in New Zealand. We were lucky that it was a windy day when we went so they albatrosses were flying a lot (they have weak chest muscles relative to their enormous size so they don't fly much when the wind is still).

Cedar Waxwing, their feathers are slightly tipped in colors such as red and yellow and they do not look real.
