King parrots
We are fortunate to have these gorgeous creatures visit us most days. I made a simple bird feeder from baling twine and a plastic pot plant tray. I drilled holes for drainage and added a horse shoe for weight. The parrots love it, getting up to all sorts of antics hanging upside down on the string etc. They provide us with hours of entertainment.
I love their gorgeous feathers, if you look on her back you can see the blue under her wings.
What a pretty boy! He has such a lovely red beak.
We often have up to 5 of these birds visit at any one time, depending on the season. They bring their offspring home to show them off to us........
