Now that is a nice capture. Was this in the wild? Great shot of a beautiful bird. :wink:

That is a cockatiel, a very common pet.

Yep, looks like someone lost their pet. Cockatiels are very friendly and make great pets....
Nice capture!

That bird was not someone's pet. I shot it in Ft worth Zoo. If you look at the top 1/3 of the photo, you can see some bokeh of meshes.

Here is another one,

Male and Female parakeets having a discussion :>)))

Male has blue on beak.

Pretty shots .....

Cockatiel is very pretty, really nice pose.

Gale, they were actually kissing each other. I thought this one was more implicit.
