    Birds in a Conservatory -1

    Taken earlier this year. Just captive birds. Given that the doors sometimes stay open, I wonder if they actually have lost any birds, any of them actually just flew away. I think they're all tropical birds. Feel free to id them

    Nice pics Some seem familiar to me so here goes - No. 3 looks like a female Village Weaver (the male having a black face) found on the east coast and northern hinterland regions of Southern Africa. No.4 might be a Schalow's Turaco found in Northern Botswana and Caprivi strip - description: "40-45cm. A Green Turaco that closely resembles Livingstne's Turaco, but has a longer crest (especially at front of crest), dark blue or purple tail (not dark green tail) and slightly green paler underparts..."

    The macaw image is AMAZING!

    Of the three posts, this macaw image is simply in a different league. If I shot a whole memory card worth of OK images (I'm in no way saying that your images are just OK) and had this one image, I would be happy.

    Print it up super size. People will buy it.

    What's a Loupe for anyway?
