During our field trip in northern Queensland, we were lucky to spot a pygmy percher perched on a sunlit reed.

At dusk, the wandering perchers settled quietly on the fence, watching the village lights.

A solitary wandering percher settled on the driftwood by the lagoon, its bright red abdomen flashing in the sun.

The Percheron pulled the heavy plow across the muddy field with calm strength.

Percherons labored through the deep snow, their heavy hooves leaving clear tracks as they hauled the loaded carriage to the village.

The old aviary's percheries were carefully arranged to give each bird a comfortable spot to rest.

The large commercial farm installed a new perchery to maximize egg output, but animal welfare groups criticized the cramped conditions.
