    Macaw's at Tropical Birdland



    Taken last year at Tropical Birdland near Leicester, a lot of the parrots such as these all fly free from any cages and sit on perches and the visitors.

    A plug for the place :)

    Tropical Birdland unique visitor attraction which is home to over 250 birds with stunning free-flying parrots from around the world. A hands on experience

      Very nice. Beautiful colours and quite sharp esp the first Macaw. Well done.

          A nice portrait but I think it would look better without the slightly oof bird on the right and a round of usm to make the main bird crisp - the original has probably lost some definition as you loaded direct from your computer

                I prefer the two birds as shown in your first image- far more natural to me.

                    Certainly colourful birds, wider DOF would have helped the first image, still nice though.

                      I'm with Stan on this one, better in my view without the second background bird. I think it's because it's just peeking into shot, neither here nor there. It could do with a bit more canvas especially above its head.
