Once you have mastered normal picots and downward picots, mirrored picots are a simple affair. Close mirrored picots will quickly become a favourite embellishment in your crochet.
They were ever so obliging to hang out on the lower branches on our side of the fence. I would have to be very lucky indeed to get better shots then this, but I will keep trying.
I'd swear they can smile! They are very cheeky too. That one with the berry is the female you can tell from the bands in her tail the male is the other one with the plain red tail.
Marvelous captures! Pop on over to http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/07/get-peek-at-those-cute-little-feet.html to share - would love to have you visit!
Lots of oohing and ahhing going on this morning with my girls. We are studying birds this year for science, so I think I'll scroll through all your shots today. :) Thanks for sharing!
I think I would have hated having to study birds when I was at school but now I think it's brilliant! I certainly hope you all enjoy finding out about them.
They certainly put on a show for you, didn't they? Great shots! Thanks for linking up at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/08/strange-visitors-in-garden.html

They truly are an amazing parrot.

ReplyDeleteIt's mesmerising watching them. I always try to stop what I am doing and go and watch them if I can.
DeleteOh this is wonderful-I love the shot of him holding the berry on the branch, he almost looks as if he’s smiling triumphantly! Great shots

I've been on a bit of a break but I'm trying to get back into the party swing. I'll do my best to make it over this week!
DeleteI cannot believe you have such beautiful birds nearby! Great shots!!
ReplyDeleteI can't either!
DeleteFab photos! What wonderful creatures x
ReplyDeleteA lot of people don't like them because they prune the trees heavily and leave a bit of a mess. I'm just glad I don't have to do the pruning.
DeleteWow! What a cool creature. Never seen one before. Thanks for sharing, your photos are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThey are so big too. Seeing them in person is amazing every time.
DeleteAmazing capture! Their movements are flawless and the feather crown! Beautiful creatures =) #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteI love their crest (crown) it makes them look like a punk rocker ;p
DeleteIs it just me that thinks the beakholes look like an extra pair of eyes?! Great captures :)
ReplyDeleteThose nostrils (I'm sure they use a different term for birds but I don't know what it is) are pretty huge.
DeleteGorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! These are beautiful! #Mysundayphoto
