I found this beautiful bird about an hour ago. We had just returned from grocery shopping when he greeted us on the balustrade of our front porch. I believe he is a "King Parrot". Isn't he superb?

What a beautiful bird, well captured.  I like the last image, where he seems to be looking at you, as if to figure out what you are doing.

What amazing colours.  He is beautiful.  Well done

I sure wish I could return home to find some an amazing specimen waiting for me to take its portrait.  Nope, just finches, juncos, mourning doves and the like.  He wasn't afraid of you, hu?  That's so cool that you could capture him without him flying away.


Great captures!  Nice DOF on that closeup.  I hope he didn't mess on your laundry since he appears to be perched just above it.    

what a beautiful specimen to come home to. I like that last one too. he seems to be questioning you.

Thank you everyone,
he was certainly a beautiful bird, and he wasn't shy. At one point he came up to within about three inches of my hand. These birds are known for their inquisitive nature. We also get "Rainbow Lorrikeets" and "Crimson Rossellas" as well as "Sulphur Crested Cockatoos" and "Black Cockatoos". If I can get some shots of these I will post them for you.
God Bless,
Rob.

Hi Rob

I made your photos larger for you...

What an amazing array of photos of this bird.

Where in the world do you live to find birds like this in the wild?  This is amazing.

Thanks for sharing with us.
