parrot feather

Even after 30+ years living here in Aus it is still a huge thrill to see parrots flying free and wild.
Red caps nosh on my orange trees, red tailed black cockies screech and chew on pine cones in the conifers, galahs scoff new seeds falling from pods and short billed corellas loiter along the river side under the palms.
This feather, bedraggled after a drenching, has some of those lovely parrot blues and greens.
