A lovely image Rob. Wonderful light, great eye contact and the food in the beak provides added interest. Nice composition also.

The light and color in this is awesome Rob! Nice details of course and like the perch in this one quite a bit.

Reminds me of the Painted Bunting with its almost gaudy color, this one jumps out of the frame..
The late light has warmed up the colors nicely.
Well done :toast:

I like how the directional light really shows the colors of this parrot, nice job in getting what looks like to be a difficult shot, well done.
