@ Safe Leif - Nope! I tried once, but they slammed the door in my face. I didn't think that was very nice, so I went to Floor County, but I can't remember which state that was in...the state of confusion, methinks.
Hope you had fun. But, I was wondering where your black eye came from, and Allison said you ran into a door.
@ Per Stromsjo - These two were on a perch along the main promenade at Silver Springs. They were in the open, untethered, and I got about two feet from them to take this shot. They were quite unruffled by the whole business. I think they are used to funny people carrying funny black boxes which the funny people point at them.
Not unlike that dog I encountered the other week. Didn't display one iota of interest in what I was up to. Come to think of it, maybe it was a doggie celebrity of sorts?
Wow, they are beautiful. I have dreamed of having a "speaking" parrot since I "met" one in Austin (a colleague of mine there had one that kept talking all the time).
Love the DOF here. My eye keeps going back and forth from bird to bird, then back again.
ReplyDeleteWHOA, make it stop!
Twins! Are their names Pete and Repete! Just back from a little vaca in Door County, Wisconsin - been there?

Great picture Jacob. I really like their eyes.
ReplyDeleteLove the Blue and Gold Parrots. Never met one that wasn't photogenic.
ReplyDeleteI like animal shots and it especially nice to see these parrots close-up. I don't think I'd want them as pets. I know they make quite a mess.
ReplyDeletesuperbe portrait, ils sont tres beaux
ReplyDeleteYou found a Swedish parrot and his clone! This is a far better catch than the houses...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and colorful shot !! I love parrots !! This is fantastic Jacob !Unseen Rajasthan
ReplyDeleteFunny fellows.
ReplyDeleteTwo old souls.
ReplyDeleteLove these guys! You captured perfectly their mischievous character sparkling in their eyes!
ReplyDeleteThey're used to being photographed, I think. What handsome creatures.
ReplyDelete@ VP - I knew there was a reason I was attracted to these silly birds!
ReplyDeleteneat picture, great detail and color.
ReplyDeleteI love the vivid colors, and two for the price of one -- hey, I like a bargain!
ReplyDeleteGood ol' Paul and Polly Parrot. They are so cute. MB
ReplyDeleteThey look like they are trying to ignore you Jacob! They certainly are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteImpressive shot. From what distance did you shoot these fellows?

ReplyDeleteSo one parrot said to the other 'that guy with the camera wants a shot, should we preen or pose'?
ReplyDeleteGreat colors and detail!
ReplyDeleteThose two would stand out in a crowd with all that color. They make a pretty pair.

ReplyDeleteAh the Swedes again. Did you have a nice conversation?
ReplyDeleteThese two look like they might be best buddies. Net photo, Jacob!
ReplyDelete@ Ciel - Yes, we did. I asked if he Polly wanted a cracker, and he said "Do I look like that kind of parrot?"
ReplyDeleteOh they're a beautiful pair & so clear!
ReplyDeleteOh, so very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVogon Poet said it!
ReplyDeleteThose have got to be the two prettiest parrots I have ever seen. I also like your horse banner.

ReplyDeletesuperb portraiture!
ReplyDeleteWow, they are beautiful. I have dreamed of having a "speaking" parrot since I "met" one in Austin (a colleague of mine there had one that kept talking all the time).
ReplyDelete@ Marie - I think a talking parrot would drive one crazy after awhile.
ReplyDeleteHow did you like Austin? We have lived in both Dallas and Houston. Much prefer Florida, though.
Beautiful parrot portrait! I like parrots for their intelligence and their ability to imitate voices and sounds. Crazy stuff!
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot! The macaws should thank you! :-)
