This Parrot is a solomon Island Eclectus. His name is malibu. He is on a black backdrop, light with a 580 on camera, bounced off the ceiling and a 430 off camera slave.
Thanks to all for the new Personal Best, Thanks to Tlemetry for some ideas on the title and some lighting help.

A fitting portrait of one of the most beautiful birds that there is. They look double awesome when there is a pair of them, with the red female and green male.
Good sharpness that is not overdone as happens often. I like the plain black background and how it sets off the color. Congratulations on a new personal best.
Doesn't look very wild. Also he has two catchlights in his eye, kinda unnatural. Othr than that the exposure , colors, contrast and focus all seem good.
