Ueno Zoo has about 500 species of amazing birds. The gorgeous peacock doesn’t always show his beautiful plumage, but he is still elegant (0:05-0:12).
Colorful parakeets are always fun to observe (0:13-0:18). I heard that cockatoos are known to scream crazily, but interestingly, when I was there this cockatoo was totally silent (0:19-028).
The flamingos in Ueno Zoo have beautiful dark pink wings. They were enjoying the warm afternoon sunshine (0:29-0:54).
Penguins seem to be very careful about everything, and also...they are cowards (0:55-1:19)!
The shoebill (1:20-1:29) and pelicans (1:29-1:39) seem to be easygoing birds.
And the emu showed me his beautiful black eyes, looking directly into the lens of my camera (1:45-2:08).
