This young Galah chick was one of four - they all appeared fully feathered and ready to fledge but remained in the nest hollow for another 2 weeks. (not unlike some of the teenagers of today) :S3:
This one waits patiently at the tree hollow entrance for the parents to return with a full crop. The dark shadow behing the chick may not be desirable but it does suggest the deep dark hollow below. (excuses, excuses).
EOS 5, EF 100-300 F5.6L, ISO 200, 1/200 sec F11, natural light with fill flash, hide on 20 foot tower, tripod.
