With the other bird having such brilliant colors, I wondered if the subject bird was really that pale or just in the sun.
Thanks for that closeup. Nice portrait. It's eye looks like a jewel.

Harsh midday sun & possibly a blown out highlight, the metering metered off his white head crest feathers instead of his eye and over exposed the shot a bit.

The subject birds a Galah from the parrot family & the red and green fellas a male King Parrot.

WHHAAATT? I know I'm a noob and definitely an amateur hobbyist;

Me too, photography 101 to 103.

Brilliant a Rainbow Lorikeet he is, the sound of there wings flapping is unmistakable from any other bird.
This was at the zoo the other year, the girls have trained them to fly out of there aviary to the person holding the stick.

There getting a nectar hit.

I envy your life, what I know of it.

Honestly dont envy it Mr, it's far from rainbow's n' lollipops.

I was young and thought I'd go professional.
Then computers came.

A quote from Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure...

Bloody things hey!

The guests started bringing straight to hard drive video cameras.
Anybody need a 3 thousand dollar doorstop? It takes great video in low lighting.

Bugger, if you got the 3 grands worth out of it before the tech became redundant it's still a win i reckon. You still have it?

Love the shots and all the colorful feathered friends. Here in Florida my Hummingbird is gone North for he summer and the other birds are more scarce. Of course, they knew I got a better camera and lens. Only my Mourning Doves have been faithful feeders. I may have to start with flora over fauna for now.

Great shots. Is that an Australian Brown snake eating the other snake?

Yeah no one likes summer, unless one is cold blooded.

Flora & dont forget about Insects!
