Beautifully detailed capture of this bird with great colors and sharp details.
I really like the other story here. Getting nabbed by a bird is not a good thing.
I have a vicious bird who does not like me...he does like my husband...and when I change his food I have to be very vigilant. He lunges at me and when he actually gets me he yells, "NO NO NO DON'T." #4260101
