The southern lapwing in the Zoo's McNeil Avian Center stood close to the fence while it was preening.  It was wonderful to be so close to such a beautiful bird without it being afraid for several minutes.  The only problem was that when I stood up after crouching down to be so close, I bonked my head on the overhanging sign above me.
