It's great to be a little insane to remain sane in this insane world.

Really nice shot! great colour, and sharp as well :P
:iconintellectual-vixen:
Wow, the colours on this variety are amazing... brighter than the 'normal' ones that hang around my area. And I'm amazed it sat still long enough to get such a nice picture... normally they move around soo much, and they're so loud!! When there's a whole flock fighting over food =__= deafens you.
Anyway, beautiful shot

If I kill anyone I promise to take pictures and their wallets. Since goats will eat anything I don't have to worry about the bodies.
The reason that talk is cheap is that the supply FAR exceeds the demand.

I love lories...They are some of the sweetest birds I've ever had the pleasure of taking care of.
