Here's a bird that all you Brits will recognize instantly! They are an introduced bird here in Melbourne - a feral, but I do like their beautiful song!
Thanks for looking, Greg

Very nice image. Background is pleasing, but just a touch bright for my tastes. Great pose and perch.

A sweet image as posted. The background is lovely IMO and sets off the dark plumage nicely.

Beauty image! Love all the contrast and the colors in the background. Great perch, too! It looks cool having the birds claw coming over the leaves.

Excellent details in the blake and a very pretty setting. I like it! Shaorn
