Thread: Post your birdlife shots

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.

The guy who lives next to one of my brothers also has two,but has been unsuccessful trying to breed them.Haven't seen them for a while and can't remember what type they are.He has successfully bred black, and another type,i think they are, palm cockatoos.

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

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.

Recent morning walk discovered this little female Red Cap Robin, followed us up the trail:



And this even smaller little Pardalote:
