You don’t really get to see the cobalt wings of the cobalt-winged parakeet if not in flight (the cobalt is on the underside of the wings) but I liked this shot of three of them settling in at the end of the day in a dead palm tree along a tributary of the Amazon River in northern Peru. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 1600, f/5.6 at 1/250th of a second, Godox v860iii fill flash.

They look like they are in a Parakeet Pepsi ad, all staring at an attractive parakeet who has ordered a Pepsi.
That’s a great shot, Sean!
Thanks Sue. For birds, these three were displaying quite a bit of personality.
Love it! Yeah, they’re definitely buds 🙂
No doubt Angelina. About to start the party inside that hollow palm.
Cocktail hour? I bet they were calling their friends!
