Thanks Adam, Yes we have a lot also but I just don't see that many posted and they have Bad Habits!!!:D:D:D

Well framed and nice head angle. Congrats. I know what you mean about bad habits. They are classed as pests in Australia, obviously having been introduced, but I do think their plumage is just gorgeous. And after all for me a bird is a bird, whether thought of as feral or not. :)

an outstanding bit of habitat to set off the bird....may be a bit oversharpened, but a very nice image IMO

Hi Gary.
I like the colours and feather detail captured. I like the comp with the foliage bottom right.
Did you run a NR, I see your ISO was 1250 and the pic looks smooth?

Now where have I seen this before. LOL. Perfect pose, and you have exposed the colours very well Gary. I would maybe tone down the highlights on the rock.
