If it had presented itself to us a few days earlier, the “unanswerable question” would have qualified for the “quirky moments” series.

Certain moments/circumstances – and/or an image which “captures” one of them, without seeking to “manipulate” it – have a “waking dream” quality.
That quality is hugely dependent on how the particular observer responds to the particular moment or image.
Certainly, however, a “waking dream” moment or image does not require the obvious presence of “conflict”, “high drama”, “hilarity”, “tragedy” or “somebody famous/infamous”.
To me, this post’s image captures a “waking dream” circumstance, but another pair of equally “perceptive” eyes could find “nothing special to see, here”.

She is the same individual as in #20, this post’s “moment” happened a fraction of a second earlier.

Our heroine is more spectacular than the “average” bird, but in this photo she is engaging in a necessary activity which all birds undertake.

This post’s heroine is the same individual as in this series previous chapter.
Very few seconds elapsed between their two moments.

“Feeding time” is not the only time that a red-tail’s flexibility and dexterity are spectacularly evident.

Forest red-tailed black cockatoos are very limber.
Their bodies’ flexibility is often spectacularly evident, whilst the power and dexterity of their “footwork” makes me highly sceptical about some claims made about the “unique” abilities of the human hand.
