Took a trip to the Parrot Zoo near Boston UK. There was a cage you could walk into to be with the birds. It was a relief to be able to capture them without all the fencing in the way.

Blue-rumped Parrot
Psittinus cyanurus Large-headed and short-tailed parrot with a comically bulbous bill. Male is green with a bright orange bill and a powder-blue head and rump. Female is brown-headed with a dark bill. Usually moves in mid-sized flocks through forests, edges, and parks. Does not sound as cacophonous and unpleasant as many parrots; gives rather musical whistled notes.
As it's a cold and dull Sunday here I thought I'd go through some of my Cook Island photos from January as a reminder of that tropical climate!! How nice to be back in the lagoons of Rarotonga, even if only by photo!
Off to Japan in 16 days!!
I believe that this is a "Blue-fronted" parrot... unfortunately I don't remember the exact names of the birds in the zoo.
I hope that you will like the result.
Have a nice weekend, dear friend. ;-)
Alisterus scapularis (Male; the female is also called a King Parrot but she doesn't have that vibrant orange "crown")
Smile on Saturday: Kings and Queens.
I was quite unsure what to do for Smile on Saturday until this King Parrot joined us for lunch. He is handsome!
