More 'P's on the feeder today. Parrot Portraits and Pests

Poodles weren't here pestering them, so I had a better chance of procuring a few pics.

Vermin have discovered the feeder - they don't like the parrots though. (Poison pellets put out in the tool shed)

Beautiful images and nice and sharp considering the shutter speeds used. I really like the angle an pose of the King parrot

[Phoenix]

Oh yes, who's pretty boy then? Lovely defiition, poses and colour. Backgrounds are lovey and soft, especially like number 3's
Interesting how in the rattus number one looks so cute then in a moment number two it looks nasty.
Keep feeding the rattii (?) and soon you will be snaping BOPs too.

Love the King Parrot! Beautiful pose, looks like it's asking for a pat.

[Alan]

Thanks everyone.

Alan, there were a lot of blurred shots at those speeds

Mick, that King Parrot shot got 'Explored' on Flickr over night and now has over 1200 views and been favourited 54 times.

Cheers

Doesn't surprise me Alan, it's a superb image and a pleasure to view.

All great images. Those king parrots are stunning and have to agree with Jo's comments about the rodent - looks cute in one and VERY nasty in the last.

Thanks Mick. This is my second one now. I don't think it has much to do with image quality - but I'm not sure how the selection process works. A bit like Lotto I think.

Not sure about the rat though.
