    I did not even try to learn the different types of parrots...This was shot in Costa Rica with Nikon D3s + 400/2.8 VR + 1.4 TC at 1/500 f4 -1EV at 800iso.

    Thanks for looking, Giulio

    I would guess at a brown hooded parrot...

    I like the clean background and the clarity of the bird. I also like how it seems to been looking down being careful where it is walking, adding some character.

    Sharp and sweet and a very nice image design. I would love it if the head were angled another degree or two towards us (with the bird still looking down at the branch).

    All in all well done.

    Sweet, smooth background and I like how it compliments the Parrot.

    Hi, Giulio. Love that BG; the parrot's colors really pop. And Ben is right on the ID.

    Cheers,
