That's what I thought, but the sign said Citron. I wonder if they rotate birds at that perching area.

Wow, beautiful pictures of these birds.

Gorgeous photos, what kind of camera are you using and what lense?

 

[Krissa]

Cannon powershot SX20IS. No extra lenses. I wish I had a Rebel because I have a bunch of lenses for it but the price tag is a bit much. The lighting today was perfect, I only had to tweek one or two in photoshop.

Ya, my niece must have thought I was crazy. I was so excited when they started bringing out the macaws. She had never been to the bird show before and I practically dragged her the whole way. She loved it. Then when we went to the Lorikeets she loved having them on her - I may have converted another person into liking parrots!
