They are just beautiful, I have not seen one in the wild,I found one in a Safeway store once. People just stepped over him, I put him in a box and took him to the local vet. They are tiny and look a bit out of proportion, the feet are small, and the head is so big.I love the colours of your photos, the blue is stunning! M-L

Very nice shot. Seen them a couple of times before and I had good views but no camera! I love the glowing colours and classic pose.

Cheers, Owen.

Beautiful photo. It's nice when they're out in the open for enough time to fumble around with the camera and get that photo!
Cheers,
Scott.

One of my favourite birds but for me they're like ghosts: often talked about but rarely seen. It's wonderful to know there are still places in Australia where the habitat is healthy enough for them to exist.

WOW the colours are so bright - not good for camouflage I guess??
