Birdgazing

It's amazing how some birds blend so well with the environment.
Caught this King Parrot while she was checking me out today.

A beautiful shot of a beautiful bird. Is that the (duller plumage) female?

Cheers

Thanks RB and Dennis- Yes it is the female. The male has a red head and the red continues down under the breast area I think.
Cheers and thanks for looking.

You can't miss my brother's crazy laugh.
He lives just north of Coffs Harbour.
Partner Khanti. Can't remember where you were at.
