    Default Australian King-Parrot

    One from a few weeks back. This is a young male moulting into full plumage - it will eventually have a completely red head. Setup perch with seed used as an attractant.
    Thanks for looking, Greg.

    D800, 300 2.8, 1.7TC, f8, 1/500, ISO1000, flash

    A lovely composition Greg - the neautral tones of the flowering perch work well with the brightly coloured King parrot. Beautifully sharp throughout and great BG - good one!

    A super capture Greg. Everything looks spot on. Love the flowering acacia and complementary background. Regards, Ian

    That's a top notch set-up and you got the bird right in between the perfect branches. If I wish something were different (besides wishing it were mine), is the tail and the one set of branches that are touching it. Otherwise, awesome!

    Great image, agree with Miguel's comment on the branch though (and that I wish it were mine!)
