Awesome Shot on the first one, the second is good but the first is outstanding.

Wow!

Nothing wrong with those shots at all - well done.

OrchidJulie · 01-18-2014, 07:40 AM

Very well done, Ken! The birds are wonderful.

The "flower" in the first shot looks like a banana plant to me, but I have never ever seen the inflorescence (stem of flower parts) positioned upright like that... usually they are hanging 180 degrees from the position in your image. Most interesting!

Second "flower" is some sort of ginger, not sure which species of Costus.

Exceptional - they're aren't over 45 birds and can name, and these guys certainly aren't among them. Exotic looking critters.
