'Waiter!'

Seen at a restaurant on Capitol Hill during our historic sites walking tour. We initially saw the bird on another table where customers were seated, but then he moved over to this one to wait for his owner to come back.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

This is an amazing capture of this colourful character, Helen. Quite trusting leaving his phone on the table! V

What a cute fellow. He really should kick the habit and he has a cell phone :0) V

Terrific find and caption! I'm wondering what brand he smokes?

Julie Oldfield		21-Jul-2020 03:37
Love it! He should quit smoking. V

This is great and such an unusual find in the city

What a great find! He's a beauty but I wouldn't want him mad at me with that beak! V

A brilliant catch. Almost looks as though he's wearing a mask.V

Trusting owner. Probably has it's flight feathers clipped or it could take off.

A very nice candid Parrot capture looks like he is in charge . Nice composition and partial reflection in the cell phone. Excellent viewing detail. Vote

Excellent one. Must be quite great to come face to face with it.

William Barletta		20-Jul-2020 18:40
Great catch. But how does the parrot carry his cellphone? ~V~

And his mobile in reach

A beautiful Papagalo! (Greek for perroquet)

At first I thought it wasn't real - was a marker on the chair to keep people from sitting there and social distance! Wow, would it ever keep someone from sitting at that chair with a beak and talons like that

This is wonderful, great shot, Helen.

high quality image...looks as if cigs and phone have been set aside for a good old-fashioned chat...that's no ugly mug either, but rather a charming face...V

A terrific capture with humor. Beautifully composed with excellent clarity and colors. The reflections add additional interest and vibrance. VV
