Flying Otatis: several of these birds have
easly made it back from tosses up to 50 miles. I could double the distance
for many birds, if standards are slightly relaxed. Note the different
looks on these birds. I imported over 7 different Otatis in the past 5
years to get more genitic variety. One thing in common, which is the strong
and blunt mandibles and the fulluness of the frontal as it meets beaks.
The majority of the flying birds in this group never exceed 30 cm (12
inches). |

Note also the tight body on these birds. Their stance has no bearing on juding this group. It's mainly beak setting. | ||||
