My friend, what a wonderful set of artist's notes that set the backstory of your image so well. Your idea of making a jigsaw puzzle is superb if he really still loves the bird and the story. You never know, he could have moved on to an animal. Cyn

Comment from Fabian Payton
Very nice composition. I like how you were able to catch Silly Galah with eyes open. I also like how you blurred part of the foreground and background. Very nicely done.

thanks so much for this wonderful picture of this interesting bird. I never see parrots in state parks. Especially a purple and gray blue one.

Sounds like a great present! Very nice photo that is good and sharp and wonderful color. It should make a great puzzle.
