One order of clay to go please...

[Glenn Bartley]

Watching the parrots come in to feed at their clay licks is always an awesome experience. During my Ecuador workshop we saw hundreds of these colourful birds squawking and chasing each other around...each jockeying for position to eat the precious clay. Some of the smart ones just break some clay off and take it to a more peaceful place to dine

Nice photo!

Do they really eat the clay?

Great shot. I like the composition and the sharpness of the body with the bit of motion blur in the wings.
