LOL....OK...pretty bird...you're beautiful!

Amazing colors on this guy sg. You've photographed them to perfection. Lovely bit of light in his eye too.

Might have tried a vertical format. Oh and curious....many birds at the Butterfly far?? Must be some place to visit w/ guys like this!

Fred,
A beautiful picture of the colourful Lorikeet perched above you and keeping a good eye on you just wishing you'd offer it a treat! Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

A very beautiful parrot indeed. I love the many colors and the intelligent expression in his visible eye. This is a wonderful picture of a very smart bird.

Pretty colours on this parrot, love the eye contact, the placement of your subject is cool, nice background so he pops with colours, love the effect of his feathers you can see really well

OK, you're beautiful. The bird is shown in fine detail and his colors are outstanding. I might prefer a vertical composition even if you did not include his tail, but I think I would try to include it.
