Yes Paul, the red shoulder ones known as Scarlet Macaw fetch more money that the others.
I have done all the research to start breeding Amazons which costs $3500 + but the cost of the security is very expensive and I would become prisoner in my own home.
I do not think that in Australia are Hyacinth macaws they go for more that $30000 easy but they cannot take any more out of Brasil.
I have bred many birds over the years but have kept away from exotic types for that reason.Quote:

Been trying to do this for ages,to show how much blue these King parrots have on the underside of their wings.
This was late in the day,so is a bit grainy as ISO was up high.
I could probably clean it up in photo shop but still learning.

Good timing, very nice BIF. Love that birds
Have a look if the image it is not a touch underexposed, looks a bit dark in my LT monitor.
Paul, have a look in the histogram if there are lost information on the RHS of it.
If it is, drag the point towards the information to recuperate it. You will se that the image will become lighter

crops from pics taken @ 300mm with my shaky old hands...
been trying to get this one for weeks...
not good but i got it!
anyone know what it is?
looks like an immature cookoo to me?
I reckon you are close with the cookoo theme. My old Australian bird book seems to indicate a Common Koel, which is a large parasitic cuckoo common in coastal QLD.Quote:

Be good to have a decent camera. My old Pentax SLR bit the dust years ago but it seems my old lenses may screw on to a digital body if I go that way.
Meanwile its a Canon pocket point and shoot.
