I was lucky enough to have the sun out and some of the birds were feeding on the bushes rather than on the ground.

Beautiful Rob, the pose is great. Love the setting & background because the subdued colors don't compete with the colors of the parrot. Comp works very well for me. Lovely details, sharpness, eye contact and exposure.

Regal indeed! An aptly named bird, and this captures it very well. It's a really great composition, with the head turn coupled with the veg perch that slopes off to the right. Really nice effect. :toast:
