Then this beautiful male Australian King Parrot flew over to the Jacaranda. What a photographic treat!! It looks like he has been in a fight!
The markings & colours are so striking... The male has a brilliant red head and breast, green wings, dark blue rump and black tail.
The striped feathers under the tail are beautiful!
Inside the tearooms was a bucket of seed... and so a whole family of Australian King Parrots joined us.
LOVE those blues on the rump! Such striking colours.
Sorry for the extremely long post... I just had to share all these. I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did.

Beautiful series of the Cockatoos and Parrots.
Have a great day.
Parrots are dressed in such beautiful colours! It's hard for me to imagine them flying wild. It sounds so exotic!
Great shots showing all the different colours of the king parrots, both male and female. They are quite splendid birds but, unless tamed by feeding, often shy and hard to get in good lighting. Well done.
Beautiful birds & such wonderful shots! You really captured some great ones! =)
Beautiful shots of the cockatoo's, Liz! I especially like the last one. The colors on the King Parrots are amazing! Nicely done!
Excellent series Liz. That Australian King Parrot is a stunner.
Such beautiful birds and photos! The King Parrots are awesome!
Wonderful images of all your beautiful birds..
The White Cockies I can do without! They are so very destructive when they come into my yard!! The King Parrots are beautiful. Great photos of some very special moments with those birds.
All beauties!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
These are stunning photographs Liz!
How wonderful to have these birds around you.
I have a pet Umbrella Cockatoo.
His name is Riley, and he is a little sweetheart!
Thank you so much for sharing this week at The Creative Exchange.
Have a beautiful day!

Great pictures, the first one must have been difficult.

How cool to see these in the wild. I just love your cockatooes and the parrots, awesome post. Your photos are wonderful.
Such beautiful, colorful birds! What a treat to see all these wonderful captures!
so amazing! great shots!
The colors are wonderful. You have captured the birds so well.
No words necessary here, the bird photographs do the talking. What heavenly birds you have. The colors are almost incomprehensible. Thank you for sharing these perfectly detailed treasurers!
Gorgeous, gorgeous photos Liz. Did you use a flash for any of them or was the light so good?
Love King Parrots!
What a beautiful creature and lovely images.
These are all absolutely amazing shots.
Beautiful shots of these gorgeous parrots Liz! That golden iris really sets off the other amazing colors of this species. I think the more subtle coloring of the female King Parrot is most attractive.
My eyes are kind of wide after just going through all these incredible bird shots you've shared. I'd really like to take the time to comment on several of them because you've done such a great and skilful job, but time isn't on my side this morning (you know that whole, you should provide your child with breakfast each day, make sure they're dressed and happy and then that other thing about being on time for work........) BUT I cannot leave without saying that your very last photo simply takes the cake - love everything about it.
