As some people want me to post more various species of animals and other people critize me for posting ZOO photos, I post a shot of Common Blackbird (Turdus merula, kos cerny, ♂), common Czech bird today. The photo was taken in ZOO Olomouc, but this wild bird was not part of the animal collection

As to Zoo shots versus wild shots - both have their advantages and drawbacks, but in my opinion, there is no right or wrong to it - it's just a matter of personal choice. Although I do not usually take zoo shots, I highly appreciate the work of those talented photographers like you that do. Keep up the good work!

Hehe, blackbirds always remind me of the Beatles song.
Nice photo, and don't listen to silly people's demands. You should do what you love.
Lovely picture though, It's really cute!
Either way, it's an adorable little bird. I really like the picture
Anyhow, this is a beautiful photo! All the colors around the bird compliment it nicely! Your blackbirds have much more colorful beaks than the blackbirds we have here in the U.S.
It is a male blackbird, they have orange beaks
A lot different from blackbirds here in the U.S.
cute picture :3
Awesome shot! ;3
They are so funny and sometime daring XD
I have once pictured one affect by leucism.I have put some picture here on DA too ^_^
.... though I can't see why people would criticize you for posting zoo pics. The animals are different, beautiful, and the backrounds always look natural. What else could they ask for?
I think Zoos and anything about that, gives a large area to discuss about.
I like to go to the zoo and watch the animals... animals which once lived also here in Germany, but also others.
But there's always another side of anything. Sometimes I hear storys about zoos that make me sad. But I think still very good about zoos and projects to save endangered animals.
I just came across and can't but say some words about it
I really like you pictures, and I feel like I have to take my little fellow pencil and draw some x) but not yet, I think I'll ask you before, if it's okay for you
Random: I'll go and visit the Zoo in Leipzig on Friday q:
it is like: would YOU prefer a life in a never ending civil war, when you can be killed all the time and when you have to fight for life 24 hours a day... or would you prefer hotel Hilton?
That's my opinion
Oh, so many people want me to visit that ZOO!
Of course Hotel Hilton sound nice all the day, but what do you think, won't you get bored soon just by doing nothing all day? You don't have to care for nothing, no need to work or "search" for food.
I can understand your opinion and I also respect it
However the crow I raised choose freedom. I miss it, but I respect also that decision.
It's really worth a visit
I have heard about it, but it is a big far from me and as long as I know, it does not keep any super species, which would not have been kept in Czech ZOOs...
Sorry for my English, I am somehow ill and I can not concentrate, my ENglish is usually better
I think, you'll mostly decide for what you're used to, as the animals in freedom will never miss the comfort in a Zoo, as they just don't know it, as well as Zoo animals won't miss the world behind the exhibit for the same reason.
For the Baikal seals I could give you a yes
[link] --> not really good photo... but...however it's maybe also a fur seal, I'm not sure as they seem to have both, I'll tell you more when I'm back from there ^-^
I think animals like Komodowaran, Quolls (at the moment not to shown as they have cubs ~ since 35 years first young Quolls in an European zoo) and I think it always depends on the watcher what is special and what not.
I have no complaints about your English at all. Mine I assume could be better too
Honestly, if I travel a lot to see some animals, those are dolphins, who attract me
*sigh* I guess that's the downside of being on Da, once you get popular, you get pressured to do this or that by all your fans. Though, with you it seems like you stick with what you love, yet you're flexible enough to accomidate other people's opinions as well
