Good behavioral image and the pano crop works well.
I like the different body positions of the rosellas that show front and back.
I wish the head angles were better on 2 of the 3 front facing birds- one is in shadow and the other lacks that all important catchlight.
Exposure and IQ are good. Light is a bit harsh.
I wish for a prettier setting for the communal bath but understand that this shows life as it really is!Thank you for sharing! I love these birds and remember them well from my time in Australia( pre-photography days for me)

Ditto Gail on all counts. The second from our left bird is my fave.

I like the behavior for all the birds but I wish for a better shooting angle, better light and better HA, the mud clumps are a bit distracting
