This is a male King parrot. A small family flock are common visitors to my backyard. They enjoy the lychees and passionfruit. Nevermind.

@glennie I don’t really know much about bird photography, but this looks like a nice portrait. How lovely that you get these colorful birds in your yard. You definitely have the primary colors here.
Holy cow!! It’s hard to imagine having a gorgeous creature like this in my yard, along with lychees and passionfruit – I think you live in paradise! I also think you do it justice with your photography and hope we get to see more of it! I love the head turn here and the confident and friendly look. Wonderful sharpness and detail!
Glennie, the red head really stands out here. In the longer view, I find that all of the subtle green to blue-green in it’s body feathers are my favorite part. It’s a great portrait of a spectacular bird.
