Grover takes a selfie
We’ve heard of selfie sticks but selfie beaks? Grover the Spur-winged Plover (or Masked Lapwing) has accidentally mastered the art of the selfie. During a recent training session Grover discovered a keeper's phone and began pecking at the screen whenever she detected movement, even if it was herself! This resulted in a series of photos. Let's leave the duck faces to the platypus and enjoy Grover’s antics!
