King Parrot 2

This shot of a male King Parrot was taken a few days ago while we were all sitting out the back.
He flew down and sat on the back of one of the chairs about two metres from us. We quickly put out some seed for him but he was not particularly interested and just sat on the chair next to us. He actually moved a bit closer while the seed was being put out.
Eventually he flew over for a snack before flying off.
And I have just noticed that this is the other male as his markings are different to the one in my main album.
They are beautiful, beautiful birds.
Slight crop on this. Best on black

It would be so neat to live where you have these beautiful parrots in your backyard! Great photo opportunities!

Isn't he magnificent, love the focus on his eye.

Another great shot. I still can't believe how tame the birds are there.

@terryliv Totally off subject, but if you know of any resources or links about bike touring in your part of the world, I would appreciate your sending them to me at [e-mail] . My wife are planning our next long slef-supported bicycle tour. We are considering Australia for March and April. Thanks as always!

@richardhoeg Sorry Poppo to invade your space but saw Richard's request. If you, Richard are looking at riding the Great Ocean Rd here in Vic I can probably find info for you - my son in law's father is a dedicated bike rider!

@gilbertwood Nah. No Victoria. He'll want to come to Qld :-)
