"Hyacinth"

Hyacinth Blue-Macaw, that is! I met this Beauty at the Wild Animal Park last week. As I played with the image, I noted how incredible that beak is! Ken and I had a nice chat with one of knowledgeable animal handlers and he told us that parrots beaks will continue to grow unless they can chew on something to keep them worn down a bit! Couple that with the personality of a two-year old, and they require a lot of attention if you keep one as a house-hold pet!

I think I'll continue to just visit parrots in a zoo!
Oh? Not Hyacinth Bucket?? Oh dear. Lovely shot Louise, full of interesting detail and amazing colour. Love the texture you've used too. But, no way do I want any kind of parrot as a pet.

Gorgeous! I agree with many others - too much work for me!

Oh he is a beauty. I agree that parrots need to be in a zoo, boy are they messy birds.

What a fabulous shade of blue he is! I wouldn't want that beak anywhere near me!!

His eye looks like a sewn-on button.

Almost doesn’t look real! The different colors blended in those beautiful feathers are beautiful! Seeing The Birds when I was young really made me uncomfortable around birds, but I like to see them from a safe distance.
