I hope to go back to the Zoo when it reopens and spend longer there.

Hi Paul
You're absolutely right and I wondered about removing the foot before I posted.
It's something I wouldn't have thought of before joining this forum

Wonderful colours and sharpness, Parrots are so comical.

Thank you Jim and Maria. I enjoyed the parrots very much!
Their colours are quite remarkable. Unfortunately I was on a guided visit so time was limited. There was so much to see and next time I'll take the tripod and won't be rushed.

The birds are in a vast open aviary and are quite used to the public walking in amongst them. They seem to enjoy being photographed
