The Washington Post has done a very nice 'multimedia' presentation within this article. This really is a huge find.
The species and the health of the biotia there is not to be believed. Very healthy ecosystem. If one finds birds with this degree of vigor then there is no telling the biotic richness. When has a wild bird ever landed on a human's hand 'for the interest' in it as if the man was a moving tree. The bird is more curious than he is and has no fear of any human being.
Fascinating. That scientist did not 'train' that wild bird to sit on his hand. The animal is investigating. He might have presented a food source, but in an ecosystem as abundant as this I doubt a food source would readily attract a wild bird so much as it's curiosity.
This is a topic for reading, following and conversation for a long time. Most generous of the Indonesian government to allow this level of discovery to the rest of the world.
Thank you, Jakarta.
