I love this shot, Pierre...those birds are so adorable, all cuddled up like a honeymoon couple. As always your photography comes as close to perfection as could ever be possible, but this one is special and a D10F for sure. I really love those little guys! :)

Haha, that is pretty adorable. They both seem to be looking up at the same thing. I wonder what...

A priceless pose ....captured by our own Pierre! This is such a darling photo. I don't know how else to describe it. They look so cute, sitting feathers to feathers, the colors are vibrant & there is nothing else in the photo to take our focus off of the special couple! Thank you.

That’s nicely presented Pierre. I like the lack of distractions. Where did you take it? Because these birds live on the east coast of Australia too.

Very kind comments from all of you. Thanks a lot :-)
The photo was taken in Paradisio Park - Belgium - in a tropical greenhouse, where the birds feel very good...

Excellent shot. The expertise of these birds is such to entirely remove a bee's stinger or squeeze it so that all the poison squirts out like a miniature fountain. They're interesting little birds. :>

Nice and simple.
