Look at Me; Look at Me

All the while I was taking photos of the Tawny Frogmouth the other day, this male King Parrot was flitting around begging for his photo to be taken.

At first he sat on the pool fence and I ignored him; then he moved close onto the pool gate and I ignored him and then he moved closer still to the latch on the pool gate and highest point.

So I took a few shots of him and went back to the tawny Frogmouth. He is not used to being ignored like that.

Your gorgeous garden and assortment of gorgeous birds makes me think you live in paradise. This fellow is so handsome. I love his red beak too.

He thinks, "When you've got it, flaunt it!"

Lovely

Glad you obliged him with a shot. Love how you caught his pupil so as to convey where he's looking. Nice detail and lovely DOF too!

Lovely. My friend had a king parrot called Dodger. She taught him to talk

[Graham Harcombe]

How could you ignore him after he's put his hi-viz jacket on specially ;-)

[Diana]

Great capture of this beauty, so glad you obliged ;-)

Haha, he'd have been on your shoulder next

That's one spoiled parrot! Is he the same one that I got to meet?

[Poppo Livy]

@stray_shooter yep. He and his female counterpart are both very friendly. The other pair are still quite flitty

[Tony]

Beautiful capture of that most spectacular parrot. Fav

[Elyse Klemchuk]

He’s so bright and handsome! I’m enjoying this on my very cold day!

[Sheralee S]

Well, thank goodness you did, he's beautiful.
