Absolutely stunning bird Mike. And yes viewed larger reveals even more great details. The color on this chap is amazing. Take care.

Thanks Holger.

This was taken inside a walk-in enclosure; with no glass or bars in the way the colours can be captured at their high contrast best. 

All the best,

Mike

It is a beautiful bird Mike and a great capture. It seems some of the most colourful birds are in the much warmer and tropical climates. At the Zoos here we can see colourful Parrots, and other birds, but nothing that quite compares in the 'natural habitat'. I can't get over the brilliant colours.

Warmest regards, Gail

Thanks Gail and Mehmet.

All the birds in this enclosure had spectacularly bright feathers.  I guess its so they can be seen by the girls in the dark beneath the dense overhead canopies in the jungle.

All the best,

Mike
