African Grey Parrot
Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Sat, 03/23/13 16:14 What a beautiful bird you have here Christopher and strongly presented with clear sharp detailing to bring out the nature of the parrot's plumage. I never realized that parrots had such prominent talons before... if you look just at the talons one thinks a predator bird and I don't consider a parrot to be a predator bird. The contrast between the parrot and the background serves to bring a 3D feel to your composition. I just did a Google to find out if the red of the tail feathers is under the wings... it isn't and I found out that these birds can live 50 to 60 in captivity with the longest having lived for 72 years.
