Philadelphia Zoo Gertie Surrounded By Victorian Crowned Pigeons

Gertie stands with a Victorian crowned pigeon to her right and another one to her left. The one on her left (on the right in the video) is the mother Victorian crowned pigeon - the one who chases Gertie away from several areas in the Tropical Rain Forest, including this area.

As you can see in the video, the mother Victorian crowned pigeon pretended to be just eating while I was standing there recording the video. At one point, she sort of pecked at Gertie and Gertie came closer to me. But, until I stopped recording and moved away, all went well.

As you can also see in the video, as soon as I moved to another area, the chase was on.
