I have a few favourite kākāriki karaka and GV-S (Green Violet -Silver) is one of them. He's the most prolific user of one of the feeders, and I have seen him on feeder cameras more than any other bird. I can usually recognise him without seeing his leg bands as he always looks 'serious'.
Here he is perched above the feeder that he owns looking like he's about to quote from Hamlet. Hence I named him Shakespeare. Next photos is a heavy crop; the mugshot demonstrates his 'sideburns' giving him a wise old bird look. 'Cute' does not work for Shakespeare.
