There are certain points of view (PoV) that we should not use for our pets, friends or clients. Yours happens to be one.

Perhaps next time, you could try 1) to diffuse the overhead sun or shoot at a different time of day to avoid the blown out crown and 2) add some additional lighting (via built-in flash or silver reflector to bring some life to the only eye we see, which is in deep shadow.

You could also try bringing the plant forward, open up the aperture some to try and de-emphisize the strong vertical background elements.

Pretty bird and colors.


On an aside, I recently heard a report where this organization or group in someplace USA (details are missing) where their main emphasis to to get people to adopt parrots rather than buying. And by adopt, they mean support the participating facilities that can properly care for parrots. Apparently, many people think it'd be cool to have a beautiful parrot, but do not consider the intelligence, required attention and longevity of parrots. OP, please be assured this aside is not directed towards you in any way.

Dumb and Dumber

It's a parakeet, not a parrot. Of, if you speak British English, a budgerigar (or budgie). Just fyi.

I had an all-yellow parakeet at one point. She could also say "I love you" and "pretty bird", as well as a few other choice phrases that could make a sailor blush. Have no idea how she learned them Then I got a second bird and she stopped talking so much. They imitate birdsong, so when I was the other bird, she imitated my "song." When the new bird came along, she imitated the new song.

I agree with kundalini about the lighting.

Well it is a type of parrot; small but still in the family
