Why did the bird sit on the map? It wanted to see the world from a different perch-spective!

In an unexpected encounter at Lightning Ridge, I found myself face-to-face with a curious bird adorned with striking blue eye markings. Perched on the edge of a wooden surface, it seemed just as interested in me as I was in it. Behind this feathered observer was a large map of Australia, perhaps hinting at our shared sense of exploration. The setting was simple yet profound—a reminder that even in familiar places, there's always something new to discover.
