The mating call of the Mechiki


Me and Pat in our costumes in Lucas Gardens. The Mechiki(the one on the tree) is a type of human/primate/bird that lives in the trees and has amazing elasticity in it's feet which gives it amazing agility and has the ability to jump from tree to tree, almost like a leemur. It has an amazing vocal range and can imitate any sound it hears perfectly just like the lyre bird. Males sprout colourful feathers and conduct their mating call/performance from tree tops.
