Black and white birds

Which is usually a miss, but when you hit the mark, it's beautiful. And these photos are beautiful sir. Thank you for sharing them with us. Toucan + Hornbill are my faves.:arrow:
No.s 1-3 are my choices

Personal favorites, The first African Grey Parrot and the Snowy Owl is fantastic!
I agree with Nigel about the Toucan lovely. I think the only crop that hasn't quite worked is the Hornbill but you have already alluded to this.
I am a sucker for black and white, thanks for sharing these.

The rest are just excellent. I saw the title, and was expecting to hate them all, since the subtle and beautiful colours that birds have, always seem to be integral to their captures.
But you proved me comprehensively wrong - thank you.

After reading the first post, my initial thought was "wut? That's like photographing flowers in B+W...".

Yes, exactly
I hadn't read this when I posted, but it's exactly how it struck me too.

First up, a couple of pics of an African Grey Parrot:
Then, a sleepy looking snowy owl:
A blue-feeling Balinese Mynah Bird:
A reflective Toucan:
A crusty-looking Hornbill:
A rather handsome fellow but I am not sure what - seems to be pondering what lies beyond the wire
and finally, a like-minded Amazon
I hope you like these. Any C&C welcome. Birdworld is a very neat place and I took a load of pictures; still having a few gigabytes to process... maybe I'll post some more in a few days These were all taken with the K5 and DA* 300, which was a good combo for these circumstances, I thought; although for some of the bigger birds it got in just a bit too close so I later switched to the 200mm little brother...
