We’ve heard of selfie sticks but selfie beaks?  Grover the Spur-winged Plover (or Masked Lapwing) has accidentally mastered the art of the selfie.  During a recent training session Grover discovered a keeper's phone and began pecking at the screen whenever she detected movement, even if it was herself!  This resulted in a series of photos.  Let's leave the duck faces to the platypus and enjoy Grover’s antics!
