King Parrot 1 by terryliv

King Parrot 1

We have had two male king parrots hanging around the last couple of weeks and they have both become fairly quiet. We think they are probably father and son. (Remember the immature male from earlier in the year)
A couple of days ago they had a bit of a disagreement over food right outside the back door which was great to witness and a bit surprising as they are the most gentle and quiet parrot ever.
This one was down this morning for a bid of a feed and allowed me to get very close to him.
They are my favourite parrot, absolutely beautiful.
SOOC - No crop. Best on black

The words "quiet" and "parrot" aren't often put together in a sentence, unless the word "not" is in there as well. What a photo opportunity this handsome fellow offers you. His colors are amazing, and all the more so on black.
