Cockatiel (2/15)

PSITTACIFORMES: Cacatuidae

Nymphicus hollandicus  

This photo was taken from the car. The birds were visible through Vik's window only. I said, "Quick Vik, lean back" He obliged and I got this shot.

He then pointed out that he didn't have a decent photo of Cockatiels and went for his camera. The birds flew off - sorry Vik.

Vik: It wasn't so much good manners as necessity. It's hard to move when someone thrusts a bazooka-sized lens across the front of you, pinning you to your seat. I have since managed to find a few more Cockatiels and improved my photos slightly.
