This pretty boy is a umbrella cockatoo, and was a big ham for the camera.

The owners of this beautiful cockatoo became new parents, and between the caring of a newborn and this bird who wanted to be the center of attention, well they had to make a choice.

I used the 40D with the canon 70-300 IS USM lens, f/stop 5.6. The attendant was walking around with him, because normally he would be in a bird cage, and I have never been able to get a good one through the cage wire.

Thanks for commenting, and I hope everyone has a good day.
