Thanks Brent & Konstantin:-) I was amazed at how clean the shirt was Brent, the bird must be nappy trained. I'm no expert but the wings don't even looked clipped to stop it from flying.
Well at last Konstantin a girl who appreciates my picys, you're a lucky man to have a lady that that knows how to pick a good husband & can see that my picy is excellent, brilliant & fantastic. Your wife is a rare find so give her lots of attention & TLC. Did you tell her how handsome I am Konstantin:-)

Rod, special congratulation from my wife. She came to me when I have just opened your photo and the only words I heard then were "excellent", “brilliant” , “fantastic on topic” etc ...
The women are emotional, you know. What should I say about this picture - not bad, not bad ... :-)
Ok, ok .. seriosly speacking, I also think that this is an excellent captured picture with a lot of interesting details.

Can't you dodge and burn some bird poop on her shoulder mate? ;-) Fun capture.

Thanks Tommy:-) The bird was too busy eating her hat to listen in.

I tried tightening the crop way in and the bird seemed to be intimately involved trying to listen in. With this crop it seems bored. But the colors and offbeat subject still grabs attention. -tv

Thanks Carole:-) I did post an ahrty version of this that wasn't quite right, it's in Pending. I really like the OOF face but there's not quite enough of this lady init for it to work.

This brings back memories! We used to have one of those cockatiels by the name of "killer" as he wasn't very friendly and frequently drew blood! :-D Another fun shot of a real character! CJ

Thanks Penny & YB:-) It must have been pension day as the shopping area was full of senior citizens.

Rod - there is so much going on here. It's just too wild for words. I love it!
