More thoughts provoked by reading Wild of Brain.

#EyeContact is a complicated issue for me. I remember, as a child, being scolded viciously by parents, teachers and other adults in authority for not looking at them when they were talking to me. So I learned to make a conscious effort to make more eye contact with people when they're talking.

But I've found I'm more comfortable in Māori spaces, because the level of eye contact I find uncomfortable is considered provocative and rude.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #EyeContact - this is a portrait of an Abdim's Stork. It's dark purple plumage makes it almost invisible against the dark background. 🪶

An Abdim's Stork looks straight at the camera. The bird has a dark purple neck and head with a large rough orange bill. The background is black.

#BirdOfTheDay #EyeContact I have posted this before; this seagull has eye contact down pat. 🤣 Actually, he was staring at my trout salad. #EastCoastKin #Birds #Seagull #Australia

A white and pale grey seagull with a red beak and pale blue eyes is leaning forward and staring at the camera as if to lunge. I was outdoors eating a trout salad, and the seagull was most interested in snitching some of it! Sydney, Australia

Verreaux’s eagle owl for the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #EyeContact. A very large African owl with distinctive pink eyelids, the females can be over two feet tall with a five-foot wingspan. They like to eat hedgehogs (sorry). 📷🌿🪶🦉
