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.

The Yellow-eared Parrot (Ognorhynchus icterotis) is an emblematic species of Colombia’s high-altitude cloud forests, and Roncesvalles, Tolima, is one of the few strongholds where it can still be found. This photograph captures the parrot perched delicately among dried, curling leaves, its bright green and yellow plumage illuminated by the soft, golden hues of the setting sun. The background, a blend of deep blues and warm earth tones, adds depth and contrast, highlighting the bird’s striking colors.
Shooting this endangered species in perfect light required patience and careful positioning. The interplay between natural light and the bird’s feathers created a rich texture, while the shallow depth of field ensured the subject stood out sharply from its surroundings. The composition balances the organic flow of the branches with the parrot’s confident posture, making for a dynamic yet peaceful image. Moments like these remind me why conservation and photography go hand in hand—preserving not just images, but the stories of these rare birds.
