Isn't it funny how when your setting up the camera, a bird can hear you breathing and take off. When you want this kind of shot, you can light firecrackers and they just sit there. Nice shot btw.

Yup! The hawk post I did, that damn bird took over three hours to take off! Think 5D3 plus 100-400 for that time! My back was paining!

My first post of one of my photos, I would appreciate any feedback.

It is nice. If the parrot to the right was turned slightly to the left to reveal its face it would really strengthen it. Also ,I would consider cloning out the vertical line in the OOF background. Not sure if these are captive birds or not, but that line really makes it look like they are.
