 One of many birds on display the Red Eclectus is not only an intelligent bird but is bright red headed with accents of blue on the shoulders. This image was taken soon after one of the parks bird shows and like all the birds he enjoys showing off but not without being discreet and at times coy.

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are
near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry
in this challenge.

Unfortunately, candids of animals are really not what I look for in a good candid. Animals are aware and both unaware at the same time of a photographer, nor do they care either way. Too easy, no comfort zone lost. It's a 2 for me.

nice portrait shot of a bird, even if it's a bit flat. not seeing much candid here. i mean, a bird's a bird, unless it's doing something. if your score isn't where you would like it to be, you might want to read this thread.

Nice shot. I like the colors in the bird. The background could be a little plainer, but overall pretty good.
