King parrots

[skyring]

Quick note. Here are some King Parrots, feeding on the spilt grain. Male, female and juvenile all have different combinations of red and green, juveniles often having shaded or mottled regions in a transitory stage.

They are so beautiful! Those colors (colours to you!) are so intense they almost look fake. Nature is amazing.

Thanks for the ID. I am not familiar with the species.

Aren't they exquisite! What fun having such pretty birdies running wild in your yard. I get rats with wings and the occasional Peregrine.

Merry Christmas!

They are rather red and green, aren't they? They are merry fellows, and quite unafraid. They will sit on the dowel holding the feeder and look in at me if I have forgotten to fill it. I can almost put the feed in with them in place.
