In the rainforest

On our walk to the waterfall we passed these 2 scrub turkeys getting warm in the sunshine & searching for breakfast. They were quite unafraid of us & didn't hurry away. Large mounds of vegetation are built by the male to incubate the eggs.
Gardeners in suburban areas aren't happy with the turkeys scratching & destroying their gardens.
The walking stick palms were fruiting & the red seeds dangled down deliciously from the palm canopy.
