Some parrots with the KP and DA 55-300 PLM

Little Corella

Yellow-tailed Black-cockatoo (seeing fewer of these in recent years)

Pretty Boy Floyd, an Australian King Parrot, who comes and demands seed from time to time. The price is that he poses for a photo.

Great shots. It is so mind bending that your "yard birds" are our exotics over there... I had a pair of Goffin's, they looked a lot like your Little Corella except around the eye, same family. I'd hate to tell you what Pet Store's sell Cockatoo's of any type for around here...

Pretty Boy Floyd is a real looker.

We have a number of naturalized parrot populations here in south Florida. Not native at all, but perfectly at home... "quaker" parakeets, "monk" parakeets, several different kinds of amazons and conures, even some macaws. I once saw a small cockatiel in the back yard, of course it was gone by the time I got the camera. In this immediate neighborhood we rarely see anything besides the conures and parakeets. Some are escaped pets. some are the remnants of a huge tropical aviary at the zoo destroyed by hurricane Andrew. My former boss keeps a lot of parrots on his property, including macaws, conures, amazons, and he even has a couple of eclectus. Wouldn't call them a pair, the female won't have anything to do with the male (much to his frustration). But the female is absolutely gorgeous, Floyd reminded me of her (a bit, she's solid dark red with dark blue wings).
