Near your breakfast table. That must be an amazing experience. They are beautiful, as is the perch and the background.

They are so pretty, and they seem to be posing on purpose. What a nice view to have at breakfast. Nice!

Beautiful, Ken. Nice that you got male and female, front and back. F10 did the trick! devil

Beautiful, Ken, and a perfect angle to get both birds and the perch in the focal plane. I love the curve of the perch.
