Buy This Print!This photo is available to purchase in different print formats including framed, block-mounted and cards from RedBubble here
During my holiday in Cairns I managed to drag the boys to 4 "zoos" in 2 days (impressive no?) This was 'Birdworld' at Kuranda, I've never been to one of these enclosures, I almost fainted when the second I walked inside this bird flew down and sat on my shoulder.
Very cute little guy, until he decided he liked my sapphire earrings and wanted to bite them out of my ears! He wasn't impressed when I told him no, and proceeded to bite me all over my hands!
So cheeky! But absolutely adorable and such a little poser, I have plenty of shots of him. Kind of wanted to post this in "portraits" haha but figured it wouldn't last long!
The Sun Conure (Aratinga solstitialis) is on the IUCN Red List of endangered species. [link]

Sun conures are mean little buggers, but that's part of their charm.

This photo is awesome! The colours of the conure are so bright, this photo really gives a perfect reason as to why these birds are called "sun" conures
I don't know if you come on DA often but if you happen to read this I was wondering if you would allow me to have a go at drawing this fantastic photo? I want to improve my colouring skills and this would be a perfect subject, plus I love conures
Thanks!
