King Parrot "the destroyer" (Alisterus scapularis)

An overcast morning and this male King Parrot came into our orchard and started eating apples that had only just formed.He normally only comes when they are ripe and we don't mind him having the odd one,but his act today was unusual,but we love him visiting just the same!
