Original - This is a picture of a female Irena puella. I put it on the Irena puella wiki page since the article was lacking a nice picture of a female to illustrate the sexual dimorphism in this species. Picture was taken at the Philadelphia Zoo in the McNeil Avian Center. The little bird flew right up to me, gave me a curious look, and then flew off. I was luckily able to get a closeup photo in the meantime.
Reason
Shows the details of the bird clearly. Uses a point and shoot, but the bird was standing about less than 1 foot from the lens so the picture looks nice. Lighting was fairly bright. Points for difficulty...you decide?
