Taken in the farm, 17 Dec 2011. I heard what I thought was a pair; it turned out there were at least five (5) of them!  EOS40D, Sigma 150-500, Kenko 1.4 TC @ f/6.3 All handheld  ISO 400 @ 1/160s @ 439mm  ISO 800 @ 1/400 s @ 186mm  ISO 400 @ 1/100s @ 500mm  ISO 400 @1/125s @ 500mm I was standing almost right under them. |

That's great that you can get so close to the birds in your farm.

That's great that you can get so close to the birds in your farm. Maybe it's because nobody bothers them there. I've been frequenting their feeding areas so that they'll get used to having humans around. |

Wow, really love this birds! awesome to get this close to them. I think I know the feeling: my heart was pounding so hard I swear the sound would drive the birds away. The fact that my companion was almost shouting in excitement did not help at all. ;D |

Jackpot with 5 Colasisi appearing at the same time. I think they are known as the smallest in the Parrot family and endemic to the Philippines. Congratulations Neil on this thrilling experience.
