    Wow fantastic shots! Is this a tame/captive bird? Seems you got awfully close on these. :D

    Thank you.

    Captive, yes. Taken at the Toledo zoo. I unfortuantely can't afford to go to Australia right now. :(:

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
