What Face This Face

The quoll heads off, in the direction of the bird hide.

The missing brother and Skye fly above him.

Barb follows, filming and doing the voiceover.

The missing Tzeet has found himself a partner, says Barb. They appear to be leaving the lagoon. Note that the female, having adorned herself with an emu wren feather, flies stiffly.

Barb stops her voiceover. 

Perhaps that's not fair. Skye may be flying stiffly for any number of reasons. 

But it may not be due to the emu wren feather, says Barb. She may be about to lay eggs. Or she might be self-conscious.

Barb stops her voiceover again.

She should mention the quoll.

The relationship of the quoll to this pair of orange-bellied parrots, says Barb, is a strange one. One might expect that the quoll would have made short work of them. Yet they seem to be friends.

Barb is not sure she should have mentioned this either. But she continues.

It is possible the quoll doesn't like to eat colourful parrots, says Barb. But then, the females are less colourful. What's going on here?

Of course I'm no expert, adds Barb.

She is quiet, for several metres.

During which, the video lacks something.

Luckily, the Tzeet brother and Sweetheart appear at this juncture, flying towards them.

O look! says Barb, we're about to witness a parrot reunion!

The Tzeet brothers come face to face in the air, and in a moment of dramatic inpiration, touch wings.

Oh wow! says Sweetheart. That's like that movie you guys saw on the ferry.

How annoying, thinks Barb. I'll need to edit that out.

The quoll comes up to Barb.

Did you get a close up of my face then?

No, says Barb. I was filming the reunion.

It's not too late, says the quoll. 

Okay, says Barb. What face are you doing?

This face, says the quoll. 

He makes a face with big eyes.

What do you mean to convey with that face? asks Barb.

What did it look like? asks the quoll.

The face of a predator, says Barb.
