Basket House Bird

Capturing birds in the wild is usually beyond me... but even I can capture them when their flying distance is restricted. This cutie lives in a large bird "cabinet," located in my relative's nursing home. I have no idea what species this little guy might be.

Adorable!

Great shot of this bird. It looks like a member of the finch family and could be a long-tailed finch.

Wow, fantastic capture!! What a great idea to make a bird house out of a basket!! I have so many empty baskets around here, that I think I might try making one. Excellent details and clarity!! I have no idea what kind of bird this is, but he sure is pretty!

@teiko @ceilidh @cashew @pplutz @888rachel @fivefingerofdeath @nytewind @emiko @denisefuller Thanks! I wish I could shoot them with such clarity in the wild... this bird was kind of a "sitting duck." Ouch. Thanks for taking time to comment. :)

It's a wonderful shot, no matter where it was taken

Beautiful capture. I agree with Margaret it looks like a member of the finch family.
