Bird of the Week Challenge: 31st May - parrots

Hi all - huge apologies. I have come down with a horrible cold. Still off work but at least today I can get out of bed!

 

So this week your challenge is an easy one that we have had many times before. Lets see your wonderful parrot photos...

Hope you get well soon, Holly.

These guys had a young one in the hollow but i spotted it while having a feed on my way back from Port and it did not pop out after grabbing my camera.

 Galah, I had an idea for next weeks challenge, or a future challenge, called 'Improvements' (or something like that) where a member posts their first ever photo of a species, like say a Crimson Rosella for example (the crappier, the better!) then a recent photo of the same species to see the improvements, (like sharpness, quality, lighting ect). I think this could be a really nice challenge, to see how far we have all come :)

Thanks Rick, I was lucky he posed. It made a change from the array of cars which were supposed to be the main event!

Tegan, this is defintely better than my first efforts with a King Parrot.

Lovely range of parrots already

Love the shot of the King parrot Sue. Nicely framed by the autumn foilage.

My first decent shot of a Pale-Headed Rosella.

Such colourful characters! Love all the pictures but especially those Rosellas. Hoping Holly is now well and keen to see more posts from Brian.
