This little fellow, a young male I think just decided to sit the rain out under shelter. He's got very unusual markings.

Here's some more, not great shots but they show off his unusual plumage. I've never seen turquoise in a King Parrot before.

Maybe that's why he was alone, cause he looks different? He looks tame.
