It is obvious that these birds loved you! They seem to enjoy posing for you. With this one, I particularly like the tilt of his head. It is almost as if he is curious and is trying to get a better look at you.

DaveB from Exeter, United Kingdom

Cool colours, although the sharpest bit of the shot seems to be the green feathers to the right, i'd prefer the beak or especially the eyes to be popping out! Always tough to do though!

11 Jul 2008 6:55pm

@DaveB: Thanks Dave, I see what you mean, I've actually just realised I've posted the wrong shot lol, no. 176 when it should have been 177 which is much sharper. I must have been having a blonde moment at the time :)

Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa

Another really good bird shot, you could start a bird book. I like the position of the tree trunk, and how you left some space to the right. Great work, Mary

Wonderful and colourful capture Mary. I love his expression!

A lovely cute colourful parrot, with a slightly cheeky look I think.

Ron from Saint Louis, United States

So this is the other end of the coffee lover ... it may not be the sharpest shot in the stack but the colors are terrific!!

Barbara from Florida, United States

Beautiful! This is a colorful Sun Conure. I can tell he likes you, probably wondering if you have any treats. I like how he is perched there and the wonderful green DOF in background.
