About Hi...I'm a very cheeky bird, I'm a mountain parrot.I'm quite capable of doing damage to your car by pecking all the rubber from around the windows and pulling off windscreen wipers—not to mention what it might do to what you have on your roof rack!!!....LOL!!

Great shot Nicole.

These troublesome little birds were one of my favourite parts of my trip to New Zealand.

As for their destructive nature, well that's why you get full coverage insurance on the rental, then you can relax and get some good shots of it.

All the best,
Ed

LOL Nicole... Now that's a nice cocky... Love the beautiful detail and colours here... and don't doubt at all the damage that can be done by that beak... Extra nice DoF also...:)))

The parrots here just do the same sort of work on houses, trees, in fact structures of any kind become targets... It's the crows who pull the rubbery bits off cars... LOL... We would wrap our windscreen wipers in towels etc...:)))

Excellent work...:)))

Onie...
