A pair of adult greater necklaced laughing thrushes, Garrulax pectoralis

I think this is a pair adult greater necklaced laughing thrushes, Garrulax pectoralis who decided to have a little chat to me. They were in Harewood House Bird Garden which is one of England's most important avian collections, with over 90 species of birds housed in sympathetic surroundings. Over a third of the birds are classed as near threatened, vulnerable, endangered & critically threatened in the wild in the IUCN listings. The remaining two thirds are classed as lower concern in the wild, which still means there is concern over their future safety, or even that there is very little known about their numbers or status in the wild.
