Well Hello

A shot of the White Cockatoo when he paid us a visit from a couple of days ago. Remember, this is a "wild " bird not a pet. I was about a metre from him. Does he look worried? SOOC NO Crop - and no crap either.
Best on black

He has adopted you Terry. Wonderful portrait of this precious creature - you can see his intelligence and curiiosity clearly. A fav.

[Lisa Poland]

Wow! That's totally amazing. You were really close to him. My college roommate had a Nanday Conure parrot. He was a pet and I was afraid of him. I never would have gotten this close to this wild bird. He is glorious though. FAV!

Awesome shot, I tried to get a good shot of one of these guys yesterday, but the bloody things kept flying away. This is a great one!

Great capture!

[Milanie]

Fantastic on black - what a remarkable shot for a wild bird. He most definitely in NOT worried about you - is that his feeling of superiority? Wonderful dof and colors.

This is so wonderful! What a beautiful bird. It looks as tho he was moments away from showing off those crest feathers. You can't help but wonder what sort of human interaction this one had early in life, to be so comfortable with you up so close. Perhaps he just really likes having his picture taken. A definite fav for this lovely image.
