Islands of Hawaii, particularly Oahu. Cockatoos are breading in very small colony (15-20 birds may be little more) at the very end of Manoa Valley and I think they are kept under control... Because of the restricted number of birds they interbreed - the one on the picture should be White Crested x Salmon Crested but it's hard to say...Many thanks to everyone for the warm welcome and encouragement!
The photos were taken this summer in Bird Heaven aka Costa Rica. I've got quite a large collection of birds from those 2 and a half weeks while I was there. But I'll try not to spam this thread too much
I would direct the same question towards ISv, which Islands are there in question? Impressive and picturesque birds!
Just one more for now, a Collared Redstart, or as the natives call it - "Amigo de hombre" due to its friendly and trustful character.View attachment 182140
The Eclectus is something I see first time, the same location as Cockatoos (BTW it was calling same as the Cockatoos but they were not answering - obviously they know their talk better than me). No known population on any of the Hawaiian Islands, I'm sure it's a new escape from somebody's cage.
