A-Z: Flying! by alia_801

A-Z: Flying!

It's the Melbourne Sun Conure Squadron doing a fly-past for their 365 fans :)

I was on the verge of giving up on an in-flight pic today, after the camera decided to only take the picture after the girls had landed on me - every time (even though I had it focussed and ready to go!). Then everything decided to happen at once and here you go :) (Now I just wish I'd closed the door... ignore the towels etc please!)

Magic in front, Phoenix at the back :)

Anyone got suggestions for 'G' with parrots? I'm stumped!
great fly by catch - in the end very co-operative birds

How about Gorgeous? They certainly are! Lovely capture.
July 6th, 2011  
wow! great catch! both at once! Really awesome! Just, it looks like the birds are the most colourful thing in your flat, huh? :) - that's nothing bad though - in this case, it helps pointing out the parrots' colourfulness (is that even a word?)

Great capture! Grooming? Grains [if that's what they eat]? Gwark! Haha.

Wow! You caught both in flight. Nice shot. I love it.
July 6th, 2011  
great shot, I really appreciate how difficult it can be to get a lovely sharp bird on the wing shot like this can be, especially when it is further complicated by trying to get your models to cooperate
July 6th, 2011
