Did you use a flash? He looks stunned! Apparently parrots stun easily.
Lurking is shirking.!

Even parrots recognise quality when they see it. To me he is trying to look his best for the photo. Even his right foot has something coquette about it.It was overcome by the sight of my Pentax...
Wonderful portraits, John. Sharp and well exposed.

No, just available light. I'm not a fan of flash, it kills atmosphere.

I'm sure we'd all be interested if you want to start another Parrot thread.
