Hi Ken, good looking speciman, and well timed to get the calling pose. I like the raised crest, and that the tongue is slightly visible. The angle is a bit high, but lots of character on the perch.
Nice bird; indeed steep angle, but good that he didn't forget the special day. Hope next year he will greet you from a lower perch. Well done and Happy Birthday.
Well done but for the steep angle. Happy bird-day.
