afternoon visitor

This friendly guy paid me a visit this afternoon before hunting from his favourite vantage point, the clothesline.

Nice, I love black&white photography. We should bring it back, there is so much you can do with light and shade.

They are top birds, a hand raised one would make a great pet I reckon..

The thought of turning any wild bird into a pet makes me feel extremely sad. Our native birds have to be wild and free.

Great photos .... wonderful birds.

Kookaburras always look very pleased with themselves i think!

I share you're sentiment, Araminta. I'm always interested in the motives people have for keeping pet birds, especially when they're kept in captivity.

Hi Araminta, I can understand your point of view absolutely.

I have a hand raised Corella that was born in captivity however he is fully flighted and I regularly take him for outdoor flights at the park, he can fly away anytime he likes, but he keeps returning to my arm and talking to me haha.
