I found this male king parrot in the backyard. He looked rather content chewing and dozing so in the end I even got the ladder out to take closer shots. He didn't seem to mind but he always managed to put branches between himself and me.

Nice catch and a beautiful bird!

I was particulary thinking of the new camera strap which is on order at the moment and which will have p.o.t-n on it
and many are going for it

was joking that even the parrot was into the forum

:lol:

by the way, I wonder are you living in or around surrey in the uk ?
as last year there were many parrots seen flying around that area
some showed pictures here


edit later

I see where you are from Australia
(from another post)
so it's a different situation

lotsa parrots around Oz

Marie,
I was a little sleepy when I typed that. Meant to say that I'd love to have parrots in my back yard:):):):):):):)
My parrots are just little guys. I'd love to have one of the larger species.
