The 3 amigos (Myiopsitta monachus)

Well, here I am sharing again! o:) I have some recent stuff available and a few oldies to exhume too. ;) Just hope circumstances allow me to stay here and share them all

This is from a visit I paid to my sister a couple of months ago. Chuffed to have found a cooperative bunch of Monk Parakeets, they usually are warier than this. And Ive not posted a picture of one in ages, so there it goes! Cheers everybody!!! B (:

I've gotta be honest, Marian, it's always a treat to see your images. I love the almost comical glance of the third Keet, as if to say, "These two...all they ever want to do is sit around. Let's go do something."

A superb capture of these three birds all perched more or less in the same position. Lovely detail and colours.
