Well thank you very much for your kind words
I agree with you a photo of a Lorikeet sitting still gets quite boring after a while, So I was quite glad to capture this one in flight.

I live in a place called Adelaide which is in South Australia

Huh, I didn't realize that they lived so far down! Looking at there bright colors, one would presume that they're tropical birds. I live in Brisbane, just by the way, they flourish and bloom and color just about every tree here, when you go to the outer suburbs. Anyway, you're welcome, i wouldn't comment if it wasn't deserved.

You are right, you would think that they would be in a more tropical area. We don't get them too often though, they only ever come into our yard when our palm tree blooms with flowers so they hang upside down on it and eat them haha.
Oh nice, Brisbane looks beautiful. Never actually been but it looks great!
Well thank you again for your kind words

aliciachristine86 In reply to N-ScapePhotography [2012-04-28 06:35:53 +0000 UTC]

good idea lol, we had to have a plastic mat covering the floor around his cage with a 6ft radius around him lol

N-ScapePhotography In reply to aliciachristine86 [2012-04-28 11:07:32 +0000 UTC]

Oh dear god lol a 6ft radius just to cover his pooping area.. That is insane for a bird hahaha

yea lol, it just got too much for us after a whlie, but we made sure he went to a good home, he now lives with a lady that has two others and knows how to take care of them

N-ScapePhotography In reply to aliciachristine86 [2012-04-29 13:43:22 +0000 UTC]

Aww well that's good, at least he is in good safe hands with her. Some people just open the cage door and let them fly away when they don't want them but I find that too cruel!

aliciachristine86 In reply to N-ScapePhotography [2012-04-30 06:41:33 +0000 UTC]

yea, that's an awful way to do it, they won't know how to live on there own out in the wild and will most likely die

Okay, I wish you luck! Bird photos are always tricky :/

N-ScapePhotography In reply to animeloverFTW [2012-04-20 09:05:57 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for the luck I shall need it

Thank you very much It captured the motion of the wings while leaving the birds body stationary. Which I thought worked quite well, Glad you liked it
