Mealy parrots are members of the amazon family of parrots, and sometimes called the southern mealy amazon or southern mealy parrot. They are one of the largest of the amazons, and predominantly green, with some yellow and orange on the wings. I captured this mated pair in the early morning, preening each other in front of a-not-quite-full moon. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 1000, f/5.6 at 1/2500th of a second.

Beautiful shot!
Such a lovely shot! The moon frames a perfect portrait of a pair in a tender moment.
Cool picture.
