I know I sound like a complete dolt but I know nothing about photography in general or
the subset of wildlife photography.

Of course that makes sense. Go to the animal's natural habitat and hang around.
Make it enticing for the animal to up the odds for a good picture.

These are extraordinarily beautiful.

ETA: many thanks for the info!
