I like these shots

Together, they resemble kind of a communication session

More like an arguement

Great Fun

Nice Neil.
The Eclectus is the only species of parrot where male and female have different colourings and also, unusual in birds, it is the female that is more colourful (the female is the red one).

Very nice captures. Great looking birds. I like the way they are looking at each other in the first shot.

Beautiful Plumage!

Thanks for the comments Just12hvFun, Gary and Peter

Gary... you are correct.. and they are found in forests of northern Cape York Peninsula Australia, New Guinea, Solomon Islands and the Indonesian Archipelago.

Magnificent birds.

The bird aviary at the Melbourne zoo I take it?
Lovely pics there BTW.

Looks like they are having a spat in the first photo and he is about to stalk off to pout in the second. Nice shots!
