Trey these shots are awesome.
This year during Paul s exotics walk I tried to photograph as many of the Aritanga and Amazona species as I could see. PB kept pointing out more species and I kept photographing the birds. Maybe I will post some of the shots I took from that exotics filled day.
I am sorry to bring this up but it has been bothering me for quite some time. I think that all this talk about the pet trade just does not help any; the birds need to be identified and verified while they are free roaming. These birds in cages just have what ever name these pet shops want to call them. I prefer using there genus-species name or the commonly known name for the bird, it also leaves out the confusion that is encountered due to all the names that the pet trade has created.
Sorry if this is a little off topic.
