**About Thursday’s Special: It is a new ‘non-challenge’ challenge that appeals to bloggers eager to wake up their creativity and show their own ideas and interpretation of the world. I invite everybody interested to join in. There are no themes, titles and techniques set for your expression, there are no limits and restrictions (no red tape whatsoever). The only thing required is to post a photo post on Thursdays entitled “Thursday’s Special: (your theme/title)” (as explained in my Thursday’s Special introductory post), to provide a link to my Thursday’s Special post, and to leave a link to your post in the comments section of my post. If you like Thursday’s Special widget, feel free to grab it and post it on your blog.
I never saw an angrier looking bird (me apart 🙂 ) and who can blame her? Like the music.:)

🙂 I did not know that- I grew up in Kwa Zulu Natal in South Africa, the Home of the mighty Zulu nation… and except for our president I have a huge respect for the nation- I knew a lot of Zulu words but as we don’t speak it in this part of South Africa I have forgotten so much…

Is it a zoo cage or an animal shelter. I’ve seen hospices where wild birds of prey have been found injured or in peril, brought in and nursed back to health before being set free again.
