This gorgeous bird looks like he’s laughing at you and have a good “yuck.” Did you tell the bird a joke or two. Really beautiful especially with the orange beak and red eye.
Nice colorful detail
Love the body language
Great timing in this capture Steve, well done !
A great Aussie Bird image Steve. Well Done!
