Photographed yesterday this colourful beak communication.

Lorikeets and lories are small, brightly coloured, highly aboreal parrots. They are usually classified as Loriinae, the most clearly distinct of the several rather uncertain subfamilies within the Psittacidae. Some authorities regard the differences between the Loriinae and the other parrots as sufficient to justify promoting the group to full family status, in which case, following the biological naming conventions, they become the Loriidae, and are placed alongside the remaining true parrots (Psittacidae) and the cockatoos (Cacatuidae) within the biological order Psittaciformes. The Ultramarine Lorikeet is endangered. It is now one of the 50 rarest birds in the world.

Hello Annick!
What a colorful picture! Nicely caught pose of the bird on the left, great sharpness ot the other one (obviously, both of them couldn't be sharp because of large aperture). Beutiful background blur. Congratulations,

Bella, muy bella imagen Annick, capturada con un conmovedor POV, excelentes colores, agudeza, DOF (ajustado pero muy adecuado) y un fondo envidiable.
Me agrada el encuadre que elegiste para presentar esta composición de ensueño.
Felicitaciones y saludos... Ricardo

Beautiful, very beautiful image Annick, captured with a stirring POV, excellent colors, sharpness, DOF (adjusted but very appropriate) and an enviable bottom.
I like the framing that you chose to present this reverie composition.
Congratulations and regards... Ricardo

Hi Annick,
WOW! would be my first comment. This is a really great shot. Overall composition and timing of the shot are perfect. The colors just rock! Sharp detail and a perfect OOF backround really show the birds to their fullest with no distractions. VERY well done.
Scott

Hi Annick,
This is a Superb image. I cannot quit looking at it. Lot's of detail and color. I think the exposure is spot-on. Very well done.

Wow! Fantastic colours, details, DOP and moment! I really really like this picture! Made me go 'awww' when i saw it even in the thumbnail! Great notes too! Thanks. Wonderful sharing, thanks!

Hi Annick,
I am left awe struck by this photo! Simply superb! The colours are brilliant and I particularly like the texture on the top of the Rainbow Lorikeet's head. The pose is very nice and shows emotion, if that is possible from a bird. Great work, TFS!
Mike
