Dad & Junior by terryliv

Dad & Junior

Had a surprise visit from the male King Parrot on Tuesday and he brought junior along as well. I think this is a different junior male to the one I photographed a couple of months ago. If so, that is fantastic
Looks like some good bonding time

Is the father on the left? He looks like he is giving quite a stern look to the young one!

Gorgeous birds here.

@gigiflower Dad is on the right. We know the one on the left is an immature bird since he hasn't developed his adult plumage yet. He is changing from the green chest and head to the red chest and head of the male. The female has a green chest and head.

@gigiflower I was a bit hesitant about replying as I thought you were just making a flippant observation :-) See http://365project.org/terryliv/directors-cut/2014-04-08 and http://365project.org/terryliv/365/2014-04-26 for some further comments on the immature king parrots

@gigiflower And since I went back to look at those, I am now certain that this one is a different baby WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!!

@terryliv Oh I'm sorry Poppo if I sounded flippant - it wasn't meant to sound that way!!! So you have a new baby to look after!!! YIPPEE!
