This was at the Toledo Zoo, but not confined. I guess it just likes being around all the animals.

Yes these birds are real survivors,Sometimes they flock in their millions and that's a sight believe me ..Blocking out the sun even..We call them stinkers over here..Catch them at the right angle and they are real colourful..Nice one..R.

Talk about getting a bird's eye view of the zoo, JimboB. You made a headliner out of a second banana bird.

Nice DOF and the bird is looking good against the hot sun. I like the birds neck feathers glowing

You must have a very nice telephoto lens, Jim. I can't seem to get close enough to any sort of wild bird for a clean shot. Of course it could be the hat that I wear that looks like a bald eagle that scares them off.

They are beautiful birds but we could have done without them in Australia, where they are regarded as pests.
