Wow - cracking effort last week everyone. Truly fantastic! Loved to see a range of shots that weren't just birds (not that birds are 'just' anything...).
This week though it is back to the birds. Lets go through the rainbow and post photos of birds (or parts of birds) that fit. Follow the ROYGBIV - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet in order (think those last 2 will be challenging...)
Guidelines:
- You can post either a shot of a whole bird that has features that colour, or, even better, crop in on a part of the bird (leg, eye etc) that is that colour.
- Keep with the order of the rainbow - ROYGBIV
- A species can only be posted once (so if a rainbow lorikeet is used for green, it can't be used again for blue).
- Each person can post multiple times but allow 2 other members to post before posting again.
- Once we get through all the colours, go back to the beginning. Lets see how many times we can cycle through the rainbow.
- State the name of the bird and the colour you are up to in the post.
King Parrot - Red.

Rainbow Lorikeet - Orange

I hope the Purple Swamphen qualifies as Indigo??

I would call that indigo ML
I think indigo and violet are going to be pretty challenging so we may need to be a bit flexible but lets see how we go!
So then maybe we can call my Splendid fairy Wren , VIOLET then ?

OMG, should this be my fault?????? Just shoot me now !!!!! God forbid someone made a mistake.....
If I'm guilty, I'm sorry
M-L
Don't worry Araminta - it's no-one's fault, everything will be fine. Here is a Turquoise Parrot that I took a week ago. Green. Sorry as always about the heavily cropping.
Curtis
OK I will fill in the violet one that got missed.... pretty sure you can see the beautiful violet on the breast of this Wompoo fruit Dove ... now the next bird must be Blue
Sunshine Coast Queensland
Thanks birdie. I also clearly did not think of doing that.
Curtis
No worries Cotton .... it's all good

Well, they don't come bluer than a male Satin Bowerbird?

Satin Flycatcher - Indigo
After resorting to a colour dropper tool to be sure, appears the face of this juvenile male Crescent Honeyeater comes after Indigo in the colour spectrum. So, Violet (or lilac
) his face is.
